I have 10 half-grown Bourbon Red Heritage Turkeys that will be ready for Thanksgiving or for Spring 2013 breeding. They are $40 apiece (7 males, 3 females). These were hatched here on the farm in April and are free-range, raised naturally on grass. You must pick them up here and it's best if you're not more than 1-1/2 hours from me in Lancaster County, Pa. I would prefer to sell the entire flock together, if possible, but it's not necessary. If you've never raised heritage turkeys, these may not be for you because they require a LOT of space to roam or a large pen wth a large run (at least 200 square foot grass run per 2-3 birds). They prefer pasture or grass and can consume lots of grass. These heritage birds can fly and will roam great distances (much farther than chickens) and are not good for someone who does not have lots of space as they will wander away. I am also looking to sell my 4 older Bourbon Red breeding hens (ranging from 1 to 3 years old) for $25 apiece. These are great mothers, lay nests and set well. They are not show quality, but are 100 percent Bourbon Red and are great for anything else. I would prefer that the turkeys go to someone who has experience with heritage turkeys, but that is not a requirement. If you are looking to start a flock these would be great, along with the addition of a Bourbon Red tom, if you have the space. Serious inquiries only. The photos are of last year's fully grown turkeys at 7-9 months of age.
