According to what I could find, the hens average 10-12 pounds and the toms average 18-20 lbs so I would say about half the size of a standard turkey. Just the right size for you to have a really big flock of them in your back yard. LOL
 
I was trying to figure out what to bring and realized I had more than enough. I will be bringing either a trio or quad of LF SQ Barred Rocks, a quad of about 2 1/2 month old exchequer leghorns, a LF dark Brahma young cockbird, and all kinds of inanimate 'rooster stuff'.
Please put out the gym mats when you see me coming...oh yes, was already told I'm not unloading the car...

Pretty much give or take a pound or two.

My incubator is full so I'll be bringing whatever eggs my turkey hens lay this week to the swap to sell. $3.00 each.

And I'll be taking orders for the poults that will be hatching this coming weekend while we're at the swap. They'll be $10 each. I can bring them to the

April 23rd TSC swap in Dunnellon: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=436144

And as soon as I can figure out who is who in the chicks we hatched at the county fair last weekend I'll bring some of those.

Anyone interested in chicks? I will be there with the following from our school's 4H program:
Blue Andalusians (2nd generation from Okiehen) (SQ)
Black (5)
Blue (5)
Splash (7)
American Game Birds (2)
Mixes (barnevelder/gamebird, polish/gamebird) (4)
Serama (SQ) (1)

All proceeds will benefit our 4H program and will be spent on next year's showbirds.

Also, if anyone wants a young Standard Splash Cochin Roo, I can bring him too!
