Common questions
Are Narragansetts good mothers?
Yes. They go broody and raise poults well.
What health checks should poults or adults have?
Ask for NPIP status, which for turkeys covers pullorum-typhoid, mycoplasma (MG, MS and MM) and avian influenza. Keep turkeys apart from chickens where you can, since chickens can carry blackhead, and quarantine new birds for 30 days.
Are Narragansetts rare?
Yes. They are listed by The Livestock Conservancy.
