Heritage & Exhibition Turkey Thread

If i got some turkeys for breeding and sold their babys would they pay for them selfs?
It takes work and dedication to raise birds cost effectivly, and build a clientele to consistenly buy your product. No venture is profitable the first years. BUt start slow and small, you will gain good food for your own family and start building clientele. Providing freshly dressed meat can bring good prices to the right buyers. Usually that means people that earn higher incomes. Takes time to find a facility to process the birds and to reach buyers. PErhaps have a sign up with deposit. BUt that required a level of trust from the buyer. IT is a process. GOod luck
 
ANyone recommend a good knife for meat processing, or specialized shears. Not having good luck with the models I have tried so far. Actually broke a knife within a day of buying it.
 
I just came across this thread, and wondered if anyone "out there" has experience with color development in either Chocolate Palms or Pencilled Palms? Here is my question: I have my first batch of Chocolate Palm poults, and two of the young hens (14 weeks) have a slightly different coloring, with some red/ brown shading on the wings and tail - where the four others are white in those areas. Here are photos of the clear and shaded poults.




Since I am seeing the shading on 2 poults, I am wondering if it might be an indicator for a recessive factor, such as the "pencilling" factor that Kevin Porter is working with?

Both parents are hatched from eggs from Porter, but neither are pencilled. But of course they could be carrying that recessive color factor. Or perhaps this is just normal variation in this color group?
 
Anyone out there have Jerry Poole or Frank Albertsen contact info?

I tried these but both emails bounced back.
