My new babies are here, a few days early, but never the less they are home! They hail from New Mexico via the local feed store. These little guys are American Bronze Turkeys. Are they not completely adorable? They LOVE the camera and already eat out of my hand. They are quite and very docile little ones...
Some info on the American Bronze Breed:
In the US, the American Bronze (AB) turkey is considered to be one of the few true "heirloom" turkeys, the first heirloom turkey in the United States.
The AB turkey is as close to the wild turkey as domestically possible.
The AB turkey is often mistaken for the wild North American turkey, which has caused over hunting and under breeding.
The difference in taste between an heirloom turkey and commercially-raised turkey is definitely worth the effort to raise your own!

Here is what my babies will look like all grown up...
