EVERY TURKEY BREED EXPLAINED 🦃

Broad Breasted White. Bourbon Red. Narragansett. Royal Palm. Eastern Wild Turkey. White Holland. Black Spanish. Standard Bronze. The turkey 46 million American families eat every Thanksgiving exists only because of artificial insemination. The heritage breed chefs pay triple for. The colonial-era turkey the Pilgrims would have recognized. The all-black bird that came from the Aztecs. The breed that built the modern industry and was then made obsolete by its own descendants. Which turkey can't fly? Which one nearly went extinct twice? Which one is the only major domestic animal that originated in North America? And what did Benjamin Franklin actually say about why the turkey should be the national symbol instead of the Bald Eagle? Eight breeds. The full story of the American turkey — what it was, what it became, and what it's quietly becoming again. #turkey #thanksgiving #farming #homestead #heritagebreeds #livestock #poultry #americanfarm
