Description
The Narragansett is considered a rare breed turkey, a heritage turkey and admitted into the American Standard of Perfection in 1874. This turkey was derived from European strains and the American Wild Turkey around Narragansett, Rhode Island in the 19th century with earlier bloodlines as far back as the 1600’s. They make an excellent backyard and farm turkey and are very good with insect population.
We can not ship turkeys to Hawaii.

We got the order in May of 2024 and am very pleased with it. I ordered 4 Narragansetts as a birthday/Christmas gift for my son-in-law and Cackle Hatchery sent 5. We lost one poult 2 days after they arrived and a second one 2 months later. We have the 3 left (2 toms and a hen) that are doing fine. They are curious birds. They follow us around and when someone drives up to the house they go out to greet them. We do live out in the woods but they stay around the house and in the pasture with the chickens and ducks. They are very beautiful turkeys. I do plan to order at least 5 more in 2025. The Narragansett turkeys are so much prettier than the photos. Thank you Cackle Hatchery

So friendly!
We ordered three of these and received them late spring early summer. One of them died about a week and a half after receiving them. The other two, one Tom and one hen, were amazing together! They were both very friendly and would follow you anywhere. Our Tom was attacked by a skunk and was killed. So now we are left with the hen, which we have now named Lulu, And she is just going to be a pet. She is such a good girl And is very personable. If we’re out on the swing she’ll come and sit on my knee, she follows you around kind of like a dog! Her temperament’s really good and the only issues we’ve had with her are with one of our ducks. And it’s just the one duck she doesn’t seem to like that one duck lol. look forward to getting more next year!

Very happy
I received 10 Narragansett turkeys as part of a larger order. All of the poults arrived healthy and have grown into nice young adult turkeys. Thank you Cackle hatchery!

Beautiful birds!
This is our second time ordering Narragansett’s from Cackle. Both times we’ve been very happy with the outcome. They are healthy, curious birds that grow up to be friendly and vigorous adults. Looking forward to eating this years batch and ordering another batch in the spring!

Sweet and Beautiful Bird
We bought this breed of turkey as it was a heritage breed. They were very sweet and beautiful. Unfortunately, they did not survive, not their fault, a mean goose took one out at a time. We will never raise baby turkeys with baby geese. Not a good mix!

Wonderful birds!
We received 8 Narragansett turkeys in June. One died at about 6 weeks of age, which for turkeys isn’t bad. The other 7, turned out we had 4 toms and 3 hens, are all healthy and happy. We completely free range and wanted to find a breed that stayed closer to home (we have had blue slate and bourbon bronze in the past). Obviously the birds haven’t been old enough to breed yet, but they are staying closer to the ‘homestead hub’. Our goal is to raise fowl that will reproduce well on their own. We will be processing 3 toms this holiday, carrying the hens and one tom Into Spring. We are very pleased with their size, their health and their disposition. Turkeys are a delightful addition to any home, and this breed is my favorite! I highly recommend! We have been thrilled with the stock and service from Crackle hatchery and use them exclusively as do the rest of our family.

Friendly Birds
I ended up with 3 female Narragansett Turkeys from my order last summer. Its perfect to go with my Royal Palm Tom’s. I can’t believe how friendly they are! I free range all of my birds and those 3 always hang out together and will come check out whatever we are doing outside. They also like to “help” and run off with our tools! They prefer to roost in my big maple tree instead of the coop. This is their first winter so they may change their minds. I am in WI!

Healthy, Strong & Beautiful
All my turkeys came happy and healthy! My Narragansetts are just pets, but they have grown fast and strong and have THE BEST personalities.

Wonderful Birds
These Narragansett turkeys are beautiful and have wonderful temperaments. They are gentle, pleasant, and absolutely gorgeous. Gobbler has a great gobble and the hens talk to each other without being annoying. Great birds and definitely recommend for your farm flock.

Excellent heritage bird
I purchased our first round of ‘gansetts couple years ago for specifically raising to slaughter for Thanksgiving. Excellent flavor and size was really good for 7 months. This time we ordered to become sustainable. Hoping for a good breeding situation come spring. 3 Male and 2 female will make it interesting. They are sweet, docile, curious, beautiful birds to work with. I highly recommend this breed if working around children. My littles are treated with respect by the males and have never shown aggression.

There was an issue with hatch date
We ordered Narragansett turkeys early in the year, but the day we were to pick them up we were informed that the eggs had not hatched as expected. The hatchery was so nice! They let us pick from other breeds and we wound up with 1 Blue Slate and the rest Red Bourbons. We did lose some along the way but the ones left are healthy, strong, and fun!

Happy healthy turkeys
I would like to say how happy I am with my 2 week old Narragansett turkey I got when I ordered the weekly special. We got two of them along with a lot of royal palms and some bouben reds. They are all very lively chick but the Narragansetts are the most personable and my favorites so far.
