Many people feel that this turkey is one of the most beautiful of all turkey varieties. It has a very dark, rich, chestnut color that is edged in black on many of the feathers. The wing tips and the back one half of the tail are white giving it a very striking appearance. It will not grow as large or as fast as the bronze or white turkeys but is good to eat and will be a wonderful addition to the farm.

Customer Product Reviews
These turkeys are the most friendly thing on our farm. They follow us like puppy dogs, actually closer then puppy dogs, if you stop suddenly you'll have 3 or four turkeys plow into the back of your leg, they let out a call anytime we are not visible. When we sit on the porch, they ALL come over and hang out with us, they'll jump right in our laps and fall asleep cuddling on our shoulders. They truely jockey for position on our laps..In the evening all we have to do is call turkey turkey or peep, peep, peep, and they run right to us and go back in the turkey coop for the night. Amazing creatures!!
These are the most amazing turkeys ever! We had a 20-some bird flock of these guys and we loved them! They are so hardy they braved our cold Minnesota winter OUTSIDE without any problems at all. They also mated successfully and we had a few moms that sat on their eggs till they hatched and raised their babies without any help from us! You guys at McMurrays'..keep up the great work!
We have 3 Bourbon Reds, a tom and 2 hens. Our tom, Bubba, likes to ham it up at county fairs and is a very gentle bird. For the longest time he rode around on my daughter's shoulder (until he got too heavy). They did a good job breeding last year and are very tasty too!
I purchased a bourbon red turkey and he is extremely friendly. He likes to follow me around. These are very kind and gentle birds to have in your flock.
We have 3 male Bourbon Reds and they have been great friends. Hatched last spring, they gobble when they hear my voice. We named them Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.
