Bourbon Red Breed Profile |
|
History of Bourbon Red Turkeys: The Bourbon Red has a well documented history of development in Bourbon County, Kentucky from crosses of Bronze, White Holland turkeys and darker reddish-colored Buff turkeys brought from Pennsylvania. They were developed with production in mind and originally competed with Bronze through the 1940’s. Since then until recently, they were primarily kept by hobbyists, but a new surge of interest in heritage turkeys has been a boost for Bourbon Reds in the marketplace. Bourbon Reds were admitted to the American Standard of Perfection in 1909.
Conformation: Bourbon Reds are a large variety. They are known for their deep chestnut colored feathers on their main body contrasted with white tails, primary and secondary wing feathers. Standard weights: Old Tom: 33 lbs., Young Tom: 23 lbs., Old Hen: 18 lbs., Young Hen: 14 lbs.
Special Consideration/Notes on Bourbon Red Turkeys: Bourbon Reds are the most popular of the heritage turkey varieties with the largest census of breeding birds in the United States.
