We
have a long tradition of rearing turkeys, both for sale as day
olds and month
old growers and as oven ready turkeys which we sell to local
retailers and direct from the farm at Christmas. We
have three different types of turkeys:
White:
these are still the most popular. We have three strains producing
birds ranging from 10lbs to 30lbs at Christmas.
Bronze:
these have a slightly more gamey taste and well suited for free
range conditions. Our chicks are supplied by Kellys.
Norfolk
Black: these traditional turkeys have become increasingly
popular over the last two or three years. They are attractive
looking with jet black feathers and tastes similar to a bronze. All
our turkeys are sold as hatched, which means they are not sexed. Turkey
chicks are at their most vulnerable for the first month, when
they have to be kept under heat. We therefore recommend
that you buy them once they are off heat at a month old.
From then on, they are easier to manage and with good care and
feeding will flourish in time for Christmas. For more
details about how to keep your turkeys please look at
www.kelly-turkeys.com/Pages/stockmanagement.html We
have month old turkeys available for collection in August and
September each year. Since supply is limited, please remember
to order early!
