How much do you guys charge for pastured broilers and pastured heratige turkeys?
I charge $10 live and 12 butchered for the pastured broilers and this is my first year raising pastured heratige turkeys so ?????? This is actually my first year raising any poultry on pasture I have always raised about 700 in a pole barn but we tore it down.

Also I know without being inspected I can raise 1,000 broilers in a calander year. But I dont know about the turkeys How many of them can I raise or do they tie in with the broilers?

THANKS

For the broilers there are people advertising $3 per pound here.

We don't generally sell live because there isn't a market for that around here. Our chickens sell for $4.60/lb and this year our turkeys are going for $4/lb but I think we underpriced them. If we do turkeys again, more than just for us and a few friends, they will be a bit more expensive.

I could be wrong, but I believe the 1,000 exemption is for all poultry so you would have to count your chickens and turkeys in that same 1,000. We go under the 20,000 exemption here but don't come close to that number so I haven't had to worry about that.

I get $3.50/pound for my pastured CX (already butchered) and I charged $4/pound for my Bourbon Reds/Blue Slates last year. The 1,000 can include turkeys.

Broilers: $3 per pound
Turkeys: $2.25, but not heritage

In OK, the 1,000 bird exemption turkeys equal four birds.

It can vary state to state. Here in minnesota I believe you have to count turkeys and chickens together. The rules read POULTRY. Not chickens or turkeys. I imagine a lot of states are similar.

Do you usually sell all of them and have no leftovers?

Turkeys and chickens both count toward the 1,000 bird total.
