The white Holland turkey, though less common than bronze, is widely raised and popular. Origin unclear but likely developed from white stock of other breeds, not from Holland. Since about 1890 it has stood as a distinct breed with standard weights of 26 lbs for a cock and 16 lbs for a hen, with room to fatten. The flesh is white and good, and hens vary in broodiness. Care, feed, and cleanliness are essential to profitability, as diseases and neglect ruin flocks.
