EAGLE'S NEST TURKEY LINES

Broad-Breasted Turkeys
Selected for muscle quality and total body CONFIRMATION, our market strains are considered the “Cadillac” of turkeys!  Known for feed efficiency, growth rate and large size, you will find these to be the finest turkeys you have ever raised!  Eagle Nest is PROUD to offer again this season our HARDY, vigorous turkeys in either white or bronze.  Our BRONZE are especially note worthy as a packer’s bird because of their extremely square breast, thick thighs and short legs.  Since 1993, the Ohio State Fair GRAND and/or RESERVE Champion Market turkeys have been the Eagle Nest Broad-Breasted Whites!
