Lilac turkeys are a heritage breed of turkey that is very rare and endangered. They are bbRrSlsl genotype and a lilac to lilac mating produces four types of offspring, buff, bronze, red slate, and lilac. Only 25% of an ideal mating produces lilac offspring. Lilacs are different than lavender turkeys and slates with which they are often confused. I have heard they are slightly heavier than the Palm variety which often has hens around 12 lbs and toms around 20, but i think they%26#039;re smaller than the Bourbon Reds. Anyone have any numbers on these guys?
What is the breed standard weight for a Lilac Turkey?
Yes, their average weight should be around and up to 20 lbs.
