Eggs were obtained from two commercial Small White turkey broiler breeder flocks. One was 55 weeks old and had exhibited “good” production, fertility, and hatchability while the other was 48 weeks of age and “poor” in all respects. Heavy, medium heavy, medium light, and light egg weight categories were formed by source then incubated together. A sample of poults from each egg weight category were recombined in the same proportions as obtained from the egg population and grown in floor pens that separated breeder sources and sexes. Management and feed were common to all treatments.Poult growth and feed efficiency through 14 weeks of age were unaffected by parent productivity. Body weight at placement was influenced by egg weight, but this effect disappeared prior to marketing. Total mortality, carcass dressing yield, and percentage “A” grades were unaffected by both variables, respectively of sex. Failure to alter any of the parameter s measured was attributed to particularly favorable production circumstances.
