How much do adult Bourbon Red turkeys cost?

[Corny Caleb]

A week ago I set 15 BR turkey eggs. I candled and got amazing fertility! I will keep about 5 for my self but wanted to sell the rest at two different times. Once when they are 3 months at a fair. And another time when the rest are adults. I live in NJ and was wondering what would be a fair prices to sell them at these 2 maturity levels where I live.

That's up to you, in my area in upstate ny bourbon red toms are only $35-40 and hens are $5 less. Check on craisglist for your area to find a price range. That's what we have done with our royal palms and bronze

I just bought a trio of adult turkeys yesterday at the livestock auction. Bourbon red pair and a grey tom they threw in with it. I gave $42.50 a piece.

Hold the hens until late winter/spring and sell them for $60-70 ea. People will gobble them up (pun intended). People always wait until spring to buy hens for some reason, an adult laying hen will bring very good money during that time.
