Sold everything I took to the auction.

If I would have known Turkey eggs were gonna bring what they did I might have taken a few dozen.

Sweetgrass eggs were 60 a dozen.
Bourbon reds were 55 a dozen.

I got 14 a piece on bourbon reds and 18 a piece on narri. Poults

Has 6 BBW Turkey's there 1/2 grown brought 52 ea.

But I couldn't come home without buying some things.

Got a white leghorn roo . So know I can breed him to my leghorn hens.

Bought 15 quail. Mainly meatmakers and a&ms.

1 barred hen and 3 babies. Just because they were in a huge Rabbit pen. Needed the cage.

Today anyway was a good day to sell. Prices were decent.

Feedman-sounds like you did great!

Memphis-bet you can't wait to get home!

I did ok today at the swap for it being a miserable rainy day. I sold all my lavender ameraucana chicks (5), a showgirl roo, all my silkie chicks (4), all my poults (12), and have 4 welbar chicks leaving tomorrow morning, and 14 CCL leaving this week. I even unloaded an entire box of little cockerels (like 25) lol. My brooder is so much emptier! I did bring home 2 LF cochin chicks for hubby since he loves cochins.

Folks,

I'm so focused on figuring out how to grow them, I haven't had time to think about how and for what price to sell them. I have sooooooooooooo much to learn.

Does anyone have one of those little tricks you can share on how to weigh a live uncooperative Turkey??

 

[JRNash]

I've really got to thin the herd.I've got 4 RP toms and 3 hens. I'm going to send 3 of the toms to camp. On the midget front around 10 toms are going bye bye. Should have the "bus" running next weekend.

You need a hanging scale or you can hold him while you are standing on a bathroom scale and subtract your weight. If you have a hanging scale, you can tape his legs together and hang him from the scale. They normally calm down very quickly when they are upside down.
