Title: Turkey Weights
Post by: patmci on September 04, 2010, 11:13:32 am

Would bronze turkeys be ready for killing at 16 weeks old. What weights would they reach.

My bronze turkeys don't go for slaughter until they're about 22-24 wks, when they reach weights of between 12lb and 17lb. I wouldn't send them off at the age you're suggesting, as I think you might struggle to reach 8lb. Just a guesstimate. Hope this helps.

Would be worth you re-posting this in the poultry section  ;D
