The broad-breasted bronze is the creature you buy in a grocery store or the broad-breasted white. They are dumb as dirt AND quite nasty creatures. They are, however, easy to sell and one of the projects youngest does to raise money. She takes orders in advance and, believe me, she doesn't sell them cheap, either! $40/bird on the hoof, so to speak <g> Of course, being raised free-range with lots of goodies to wander around and eat, folks that buy them think they've bought the greatest thing in the world. One guy bought two last year and has already put in an order for 4 this coming spring. Everyone who has bought one has come back for more. They all want to know her secret and she tells them "well, mainly I just take them for walks." <g> She has people thinking that somehow walking turkeys makes them taste better. What she is actually doing is moving them from pasture to pasture because the blooming things are too stupid to go looking for the good stuff themselves!

Domestic bronze turkeys aren't stupid and are a good bird to raise. Taste
way better too. It's they turk-zilla hybrid birds that are abysmally stupid,
hard to raise, and taste like cardboard.
