Buy Black Spanish Turkeys

Description

Looking for a rare, endangered Turkey? Check out the Black Spanish, Black Turkey or Black Norfolk. This is a wonderful turkey that has all the traits you could ask for – calm, social, superior flavor and eye candy here on our farm. This is the most hardy of all the heritage turkey breeds.

The coloring of the Black Spanish Turkey is absolutely gorgeous. It is a lustrous, metallic black with a greenish sheen on top and a dull black under color. The pouts and teenagers will often have white or bronze in their feathers as they grow and develop but molt into the black color above. Since, however, the Black has not been selected for production attributes for years, many birds may be smaller than the breed standard. In our breeding program we work on weights of out turkeys. While generally known as the Black turkey, the terms “Norfolk Black” and “Black Spanish” are also used in the United States when referring to this variety, all these terms refer to the same Black variety.
