These chicks are easy to raise but they are not like your average domestic turkeys. Rio Grande Turkeys are favored amongst most avid hunters for their ability to fly and their large and beautiful body span. The males have beautiful iridescent (black, brown, green, red and white) feathers with rusty colored tail tips and a “beard” of bristles on their chest with a bright red wattle on their throat. They can fly very fast and run quickly with the strong legs they possess.
