We keep a small flock of heritage turkeys and raise the poults to eat or to sell as live turkeys. Our current tom is a Narragansett. I ordered a dozen eggs from Murray McMurray and only two turkeys hatched. Thomas is the only one who survived to adulthood. He has been our flock tom for two years and is a handsome and well-behaved tom. The year I got him, I bought a bunch of young Narrangansetts from a lady in Indiana, but they were all bossy and dominant. I picked Thomas and don’t regret it.
