Exhibition Turkey Hatchery List: Updated 2012 Price Lists

[thebirdguy]

I am in Idaho and will have Black Spanish, Blue Slate, Red Bourbon, Narragansett and Royal Palm eggs and poults available this year..

Thought I would revive this thread for a moment...

For those of you out there that raise exhibition quality Turkeys, what do you sell your adult birds for?

In my area there are some people that sell Royal Palms most are left over hatchery poults, but they are not specifically bred for Exhibition-- I do breed my turkeys for exhibition. And if there are breeders out here, they are not advertised.

Sadly, few are advertising their exhibition quality birds. thus many must go to the hatcheries to acquire stock.

I know someone in Central Oregon that raises exhibition Narragansetts. She's got a tom who has both a best turkey and a best in show.

I do not know if she ships birds. I do know she ships hatching eggs. I can direct you to her webpage if you PM me. I've only met her a couple of times, but she sure sounds like she knows what she is doing.

 

[ElizabethAz]

Yeah..I wish more people would get their names out there... But I am trying to figure out how much I should sell my birds for. Like I said, no one seems to advertise out here so as far as I can tell I get to set the Market.. But I don't want to over price, or undercut fellow breeders...

So what do you guys think would be an acceptable price for SQ rare Heritage turkeys????

 

[Oregon Blues]

I suggest you see what Porter is charging for his and use that as a starting place.

Unless you have some seriously good show winners. If the lines are proven show winners, they will go for a lot more. But even with the show winners, you have to find a buyer who wants to show turkeys. There aren't so many of those out there.

The general public around here has been well trained to think that poultry is free. They can't understand that that free hatchery rooster is not the same as a well bred show bird. They can get one for free, so they don't want to pay.

It is always best to come to the farm to pick up your birds. Give us a chance to teach about the birds you are buying. If you wish us to ship live birds we will only ship by air. The flight must be a direct flight to a major airport with no flight changes. You will have to pay to have us drive them to the airport and the cost of shipping.
