Standard Bronze

A variant of Domestic turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Standard Bronze

Classic iridescent bronze heritage turkey; robust and naturally mating, the foundation of many other breeds (distinct from the unrelated, leg-troubled Broad Breasted Bronze meat strain).

Keeper tips for this variant

Buy genuine heritage Standard Bronze, not Broad Breasted Bronze, if you want a long-lived naturally-breeding bird; give them ample range and tall roosts and they thrive for many years.
