Should I sell my breeders or sell their eggs or hatch them out or what

Steve,

I can't believe turkeys are so cheap out there! Even here in rural East Texas a jake goes for $35-45.

Alot of people around here raise turkeys so the price is low. I could drive 2 hours west to Raleigh and get more.

Steve

I have sold every extra jake that I have had for $35. The only one that I have left is a Chocloate. He is about 10 months old. It is very hard to find turkeys around here so I am lucky!

I'd be interested in hearing some of your marketing techniques. I agree with you. I make videos to go with all of my craigslist ads and try to create good copy. I'd love to hear some of your ideas.

I cracked a couple open the other day and noticed that the yolk was ALOT thicker than a chickens egg. Is that normal?

Yes that's normal (for us).

Would you post the text of that ad? We're getting ready to get into turkeys, and already have chickens. I'd love some marketing help. Thanks!

Ok, I want to know as well. Since I am starting to sell my chicken eggs and duck eggs I will need some good ideas. I am in the middle of making a really nice sign. I now have a trio of Bronze turkeys. The girls are not laying eggs yet. I think they are about 7 or 8 months old. I just got a tom yesterday that maybe a couple months older.

I have recently become a widow....... ouch, never actually wrote that before let alone say it. Anyway, I have to find a way to make some money. I now have no income other then the workers comp that I'm on. So, any help will be greatly appreciated.

I would love to assist both of you, I hate hijacking a thread though, not to mention everyones ads would be different anyway. So just PM me and we'll get you guys rockin'!
CRJ, that had to have been tough, I feel for you. No matter what anyone tells you, you CAN make money on birds, I do and so do a lot of others.
