Broad Breasted Breeds (White, Bronze)
5
- Solution: Process Broad Breasted turkeys typically between 16 and 22 weeks of age.
- Explanation: These commercial breeds grow very rapidly. Hens are often processed earlier (16-18 weeks) at lighter weights (14-20 lbs), while toms (males) are grown longer (18-22 weeks) for larger carcasses (25-40+ lbs).
- Notes: Growing them much beyond 22 weeks often leads to diminished feed efficiency and increased risk of leg/health problems.
