Valley Hatchery takes great pride in presenting Royal Palm Turkey Poults—a distinctive and visually stunning heritage breed that captivates with bands of metallic black against a predominantly white plumage. These unique and attractive turkeys, although not primarily raised for meat production, are highly valued as ornamental birds and for exhibition purposes. Despite their focus on exhibition and egg production, Royal Palm Turkeys also contribute by laying a modest quantity of large to extra-large off-white eggs annually.
Originating in North America and proudly recognized by the American Poultry Association, Royal Palm Turkeys exhibit an active nature with an average weight of 16 lbs for toms and 10 lbs for hens. Notably, they have the tendency to go broody, presenting a valuable characteristic for those interested in hatching their own eggs.
Classified as an endangered heritage breed and listed under the “watch” category by the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, Royal Palm Turkeys hold a rare and special status in the realm of poultry. If you seek to enrich your homestead with unique and attractive birds for exhibition or egg production, consider the addition of Royal Palm Turkeys from Valley Hatchery. Our commitment extends beyond offering exceptional poultry; we are dedicated to preserving heritage breeds and providing you with a rare and special addition to your farmstead.
