I am going to butcher a few of my Heritage birds this Thanksgiving, one for us and two for neighbors. Without trying to figure the cost of raising them and making a profit (not gonna happen) I just wonder what you folks think is a fair price to charge? I have one large Tom and one hen looking at the chopping block and someone elses table. Anyone care to share what they are getting?
On another note; We have had great success letting our prized silky cross bantam hen rear our turkeys for us. She hatched 6 out of 6 recently. One fell from the nest on day one before we moved them to a secure loctaion. They are about a week old and she already has trouble covering them all at night.
