If you decide to search for Jersey Buff turkeys, you will discover that they are nearly impossible to find! Once a very popular variety, they were completely extinct by the 1920s. Due to the efforts of a few heritage breeders, the Jersey Buff has made a small comeback, even though it is not officially recognized. At this time, the Jersey Buff is listed as critically endangered. At Smoky Mountain Turkeys, we are doing our part to preserve this beautiful heritage turkey from extinction.
