Cackle Hatchery Black Spanish Turkey - Not Sexed

Description

The Black Spanish is considered a rare breed of turkey, a heritage turkey and admitted into the American Standard of Perfection in 1874. This breed can be traced back to when explorers in the 1500’s carried this Mexican turkey to Europe and then later carried it back to the Americas. They are also one of the naturally reproducing breeds of turkeys. Note: As poults they will have lighter feathering but will change to a iridescent solid black at around 8-9 months.
