Dindon de Sologne
The Dindon de Sologne is a French regional turkey associated with the Sologne area and traditional farm poultry keeping. It is often discussed among heritage turkey varieties rather than as a modern industrial meat bird. Regional names like this carry both appearance and place-based breeding history, so the most reliable descriptions come from breeder records and local poultry standards.
For small farms and aviculture collections, the Dindon de Sologne should be managed as a heritage turkey that needs steady growth, sound legs, dry shelter, and enough outdoor space to forage safely. Breeders maintaining regional stock should keep line notes, hatch records, and color or type observations. When birds are scarce, preserving vigor matters as much as preserving the name, because a variety cannot be sustained on appearance alone.
