What a great steal. Congrats on that buy!
 
when spring hits here, calls come rolling in, hey I need a hen, hey I need a tom, during laying season these hens are worth a small fortune and in great demand!I'am still buying hens myself ! I have been going to 3 auctions a week looking for hens, I will pay 60 bucks for the right bird! the point is as a turkey farmer I'am looking at birds now for spring of 2011, cause sometimes to put a breeding program together it takes 2 years! and I have learned just cause they say its a bourbon red doesn't mean it is! ( it was a black spainsh hen I bought her any way) good luck!! tom!!!
