At Heritage Turkeys we keep all the UK recognised varieties of heritage turkey and these are: Blue, British White, Bourbon Red, Bronze, Buff, Harvey Speckled, Narragansett, Norfolk Black, Pied/Crollwitzer, and Slate.
It is sad to confirm that all the heritage varieties of turkey in the UK are on the Rare Breed Survival Trust Watchlist. We are the only location where all heritage varieties of turkey can be found alonside each other, but more importantly, they are all breeding.
Give the extremely low numbers of some varieties there is a very real danger thay they could be lost forever, but at Heritage Turkeys we are doing all we can to halt the decline. We believe the most effective way to retain and sustain the traditional varieties of turkey is through careful management of core breeding stock with surplus birds sold on to an ever growing band of traditional turkey enthusiasts.
If you have any questions about Heritage Turkeys, would like to know more about the availability of varieties we raise, or just want to ask a turkey related question, please do not hesitate to contact us.
