An Illinois Farmers Review note says the White Holland turkey, once thought to wander, now proves to be a homebound rival to the Mammoth Bronze. Hens nest safely in sheds or nearby shocks, poults require little confinement, and mothers return daily to the coop, making the breed ideal for breeders with limited space. The purebred bird matches the Bronze in size with snow white plumage and soft abundant feathers. Breeders culled flocks and dry picked dressed birds, using feathers instead of goose or duck down.
