Narragansett

i have a tom who just follows me around like a puppy and he is the nicest turkey ever.

I got her free from my uncle she is very calm gentle good around my animals. Lays really pretty eggs good sized and the tom is very gentle with her and he is pretty calm also he isn't aggressive so it's a great breed

These turkeys are very good meat birds and are weather resistant. I absolutely love my Narragansetts. They are pretty, and APA approved if you had any interested in doing 4-H. These birds are the leaders of my turkey flock. Also, as young poults they are hardy.

Great birds. The tom started strutting at 5 weeks

I don't have turkeys yet, but when I do get them, it'll be Narragansetts. A friend of ours has a hen named Waldo and she is the sweetest thing ever. Has to be with you, watches what you're doing, and if she chooses, she'll hop in the truck and come home with you ... if you let her.

I had about 8 of these birds this year. I ordered a "hatchery choice" and got mostly Royal Palms and a few of these to make up the price difference. The poults are nearly 10 dollars each... making this breed to fancy for my dinner table and losses are common with turkey babies as they "forget" to eat or drink. They must be reminded a few times a day or have a chicken chick in with them to show them how. (NOT one of a contrasting color - they WILL pick at it!)
They are a social and non-aggressive twords humans. Toms will obtain a pecking order with other Toms and fights aren't uncommon between them. I have never had an injury more than some good scratches or a picked tail.
I have never had a problem with this breed. I run them with my Red Burbons and think they are a comparable breed. Just different in color to me. Toms can get up to 30 pounds. I free range mine in a pasture with clipped wings. Hens can still scale the 4 foot fence but rarely go far from the herd. After 6 months the Toms start getting to heavy to attempt to fly. They can... but don't.
A beautiful bird to show or have as a pet. They are very curious and always want to know what I am doing. If I sit still they come for visits and peck about - but don't care to be touched. Toms drum and gobble close by.
I have only one hen who is "crabby" all the time. Pecks every chicken in the head it sees that gets close. The rest are very mellow.

I am not by any means a professional poultry farmer. This is just my experience and I thought I would share. No one had left a review yet.
