I went to the feed store yesterday to get some chick grower and chicken feed and low and behold, they had their turkeys in. This is a picture of the type of chick we purchased. I believe it is a Broad-Breasted Bronze. It takes about 14-20 weeks to grow them to weight. The toms finish off at about 20 lbs and the hens at 16 lbs. Sure, they turn out ugly, but oh so tasty!
