In some cases, bigger is not always better. Despite their smaller stature, these mini turkeys are efficient for their size and offer a good feed conversion rate. Many consumers prefer smaller turkeys, as they are more convenient to cook and prepare.

For a backyard setting with limited space, a mini turkey might be preferable to the Broad Breasted varieties.

While Broad Breasted turkeys are typically raised in commercial settings, the Mini Classic is hardy, stocky, and adaptable to outdoor environments. They thrive as free-range turkeys where they can express their natural instincts to forage.

Our mini turkeys have a similar appearance to the Broad Breasted White turkey, weighing in at about half the size once they reach maturity. They have beautiful white feathers and a strong, robust appearance. These birds do not have dark pin feathers, so they pluck and dress well for easy processing. 

Although they are smaller than a traditional turkey, their meat is just as tender and delicious as larger turkey breeds. Their white to dark meat ratio is well-balanced. Their flavorful meat is said to be richer and more complex than standard varieties.

Growers can expect an average feed conversion rate of 2.51 for males at 18 weeks, while females average 2.76 at 16 weeks. With optimal care, this compact bird can reach a live weight of 16 to 26 lbs between the age of 16 to 18 weeks.

FAQs About Raising Mini Turkeys

What is the difference between this breed and the Broad Breasted White? While they look somewhat similar, these are two different breeds with different genetics. The Mini Classic offers some of the great traits of the Broad Breasted variety, but in about half the size, making them better suited for small farms and homesteads.

What are the advantages of raising a miniature turkey? Although smaller in size, this breed is actually a great choice for growers who sell directly to consumers or niche markets. Smaller families value convenient cooking times.

Does this bird offer good meat yield for its size? Yes, they have a good feed conversion rate and offer great meat yield in spite of their smaller size.

Is it possible to raise this breed with other turkeys? You can, but keep in mind that all of our breeds reach market weight at different ages. It may be best to keep them separate in order to maintain feed conversion and healthy growth rates.

Can I order turkey poults in the winter? We ship turkey poults seasonally from spring to late summer, as this is the standard growing season for turkeys. If you missed turkey season, our Cornish broilers ship year-round.

Can turkeys fly? Yes, but they only fly in short bursts and do not take sustained flight for long periods. Turkeys like to roost in trees for protection, so their natural instinct is to take flight in the evenings to look for shelter.
