Chocolate Turkeys (Heritage)

Chocolate turkeys were popular in the Southern United States before the Civil War. At present time they are quite rare. Their name describes their unique colored plumage and shanks, not the flavor of their meat. Don't get us wrong, these turkeys are tasty, just not chocolate flavored! They are mostly all black birds with a minor tweak in genetics that create their chocolate feathers. Poults exhibit a white face but quickly outgrow those early appearing feathers.

Midget White Turkey (Heritage)

The Midget White Turkey is a small, broad-breasted variety of fowl which looks like a miniature version of a commercial Broad Breasted White turkey. The Midget White was originally developed for the smaller turkey market in the early 1960s by Dr. J. Robert Smyth at the University of Massachusetts, and then later by Dr. Bernie Wentworth at the University of Wisconsin. This small turkey was developed by crossing a commercial Broad Breasted White Turkey and an exhibition Royal Palm. Today the breed is considered rare and is listed as 'watch' by The Livestock Conservancy.

White Holland Turkey (Heritage)

White Holland Turkeys have wide breasts and short legs, and were originally an important commercial bird in the U.S. in the early 20th century, but they have since been replaced by faster growing and larger varieties. Today the White Holland Turkey is considered a Heritage breed and is very rare — listed as threatened by the Livestock Conservancy — and mostly kept by exhibition breeders.

While the name implies the breed has European or Dutch origin, there is little information confirming that claim. It is believed to have originated from crosses of white European turkeys imported to North America. The Holland  was first recognized by the American Poultry Association and accepted into the American Standard of Perfection in the U.S. in 1874.
