Norfolk Black
| The Black turkey is believed to have been brought to England via Spain
in the 1500s. Many farmers in East Anglia and especially Norfolk liked
and kept this bird, hence its name. The Norfolk Black has developed
over the centuries through selective breeding and is now recognized as
English in origin. It was taken back to America in the 1600s where it
was crossed with the Eastern Wild and from those matings came the
Slate, Narragansett and Bronze. |
