pls help putting price tag on my babies 😭

[booklover]

My family had given me two choices: lock up the turkeys or get rid of them. I don't have the heart to lock them in a dog kennel for the rest of their life so i have to sell my babies
I don't know what to price them for so I'll give all the info i can

Theyre a mating pair, just a tom and a single hen
Blue slate is the breed
I was raising them as pets and for poults to sell, they're pretty spoiled and the hen is tame. The tom is also tame to me but is protective of her.
They're about a year old. She's laying right now (and i have eggs in the incubator from them)

I don't want to price them too high or too low but i don't know anything about what they would go for...

You have to determine what your local market is. Check craigslist and ask at local (not chain) feed stores.

The breed is Turkey, the variety is Blue Slate.

Do they actually mean a dog kennel or in an escape proof run?

Thank you
There's not any kind of market here. Nobody breeds or sells turkeys here.
Really I'm just looking for a price suggestion-
Like just say "about sixty for the pair" or whatever y'know

Yes an actual dog kennel with a tarp as a temporary home when they need to be put somewhere for a little while. Her nest is also in there

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Your local market determines their value. What I get for my turkeys here has no bearing on your local market. If you have no local market, you may find it impossible to sell them at any price.

I know now that it doesn't work that way but... All i know is that I'm gonna put them up for sale by telling some of the older men at church

I am sure there is a local market. There are lots of turkey owners in Tennessee.

My local market is gonna be the few farmers that love down here in the back woods. They may not even be willing to pay.
I guess i can go back to the breeder i bought them from and see if she'll take them back... Even though they're old

Or maybe j could ask her to hold them for me for a couple months until i turn 18 and can move out
