Narragansette

These beautiful birds are decedents from a cross between the Eastern Wild Turkey and a domestic turkey.  The Narragansett turkey is named for Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, where it was developed.  Narragansett turkeys have traditionally been known for their calm disposition, good maternal abilities, early maturation, egg production and excellent meat quality.

Improved and standardized for production qualities, the Narragansett became the foundation of the turkey industry in New England.  It was recognized by the American Poultry Association in 1874.  Since, however, the Narragansett has not been selected for production attributes, including weight gain, for years; many birds may be smaller than the standard. Careful selection for good health, ability to mate naturally, and production attributes will return this variety to its former stature. Standard weights are 33 pounds for mature toms and 20 pounds for mature hens.
