The breed, Rare Heritage Turkey, was at an all-time low in 1997, according to their Breeders? Association survey. Fortunately for fly tyers, there has been a growing grass roots movement to save these wonderful birds, and it seems to be working. People all over the country are raising small flocks of these birds mostly for the shear enjoyment of it. Some of these birds are kept as a true single blood line others cross different colors and breeds just to see what odd coloration they can get. They are a very important feathers for tying certain flies and make wonderful pets or table fare.
Not all of the types breed true which means a grower can end up with most any color combination or pattern variation. I have divided the tails I?m offering into 12 classifications as you will see on the Heritage Turkey in the Materials For Sale section. There will be some variation within those lines and doesn?t necessarily reflect the actual name. For example I offer Light Calico and Dark Calico. The type of bird it came from may actually have been a Golden Palm. The way I look at it it doesn?t really matter to us what the name is only that we get really cool feathers. If you the fly tyer would check around your neighborhood you just might find someone raising Rare Heritage turkeys. There is even an all white bird with nice feathers. Maybe "now" is really going to turn out to be the "good old days" for fly tyers.
