Description
The Black Spanish Turkey 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. These Turkeys are also referred to as just Black or Norfolk Black. They are also one of the naturally reproducing breeds of turkeys. Black Spanish are known for their meat production. They also have rapid growth rates and mature early, laying around 9 months of age.
