Title: Wanted: Bourbon Red Turkeys!
Post by: Harebell on January 23, 2014, 12:17:07 pm

Hello

I have a lone Bourbon Red female, she's currently living with some bronze turkeys.  I'm therefore currently looking for a Bourbon Red stag or possibly a pair to go with my female.  I am based near Salisbury in Wiltshire but am willing to travel to near by counties, a hour or two drive away.

Any help would be very welcome!  :)

I should also mention that my fiance travels to Buckinghamshire most days and also travels around much of central England for work regularly.  I will also be travelling from Salisbury to the Suffolk coast in April and to the Yorkshire Dales in early May, so if anyone has B/R turkeys in those general areas I could maybe collect birds on my way home.

If you find any good examples, please let me know!   Many referred to as Bourbon Reds are nothing like the rich, dark red they should be!

Try Wernham game farm, they are between Marlborough and Pewsey. He keeps a few turkey breeds.
