Adult Slate Turkey pair for sale - texas

[tbooher1]

I have a pair of slate turkeys for sale. I am asking 75.00. Pickup only in East Texas. They are from 2008 hatch. The female is laying eggs.

Where exactly in East Texas? Texas is pretty big!

 

[tbooher1]

We are off of Hwy 19, between Athens and Palestine. Your right, even East Texas is BIG!!!!

I still have one pair left. Does any one want to pick up this pair of turkeys?

if u could ship i live in delaware. and would love to buy them if u could ship jus pm with the price including shipping thanks

I wouldn't know how to start to ship the turkeys, they are so heavy.

Chicken boxes, that I have had, have a maximum weight of 8#. and that cost 40.00 for the shipping.

Wow the shipping cost would knock us down, I would think. Have you any experience with shipping something so big?

no i dont sorry but i was thinking if shipping was around like 100 or less .ill call and see if i cant figure it out. do u have pics

 

[tbooher1]

Here is a picture. And they might could be shipped for 100 plus crating cost, but I'm not really sure. The rules for fowl are different. But you can ship a dog for about 150 plus crate.
But that might be some mighty expensive turkeys.

Hey are you into incubating? I have 6 Slate turkey eggs. I ship them safely all over the US with pretty good results.

They would only cost 28.00 including priority mail. Is that a good idea?

Have you hatched out any of your eggs? MY hen has been laying and I have a tom with her, but so far I can't tell if the eggs are fertile. I would love to get a few babies. How many total turkeys do you have?

 

[tbooher1]

I have some in the incubator but I don't have any chicks yet. SInce I was getting rid of the slates, I didn't set any, but I was selling them and others have hatched from this pair. Mine will come soon I guess.

Have you incubated your eggs and candled them. Are they just clear, or do you get masses but no hatch?

I have only this one pair of slates left. I have 15 royal palms and decided to only carry one breed. I started with 15 blue slates this year but have sold them all but this pair.
