Value of 4 month old Turkey?

[MamaRoo]

A neighbor let his dogs loose and they got my turkey, and up to three hens (we'll have to see who comes home). I'll value the 1 year old hens at $30 each, which I think is reasonable, but I have no idea what value to put on the turkey.

Crappy day here. I think I'm watching my little silkie hen, that I pulled out of a dogs mouth, die before my eyes. Even her baby's not cheeping. Just sitting quietly with mom.

Sorry for your losses (all dogs here are `road kill').

Heritage variety jakes and jennies (under 1 yr.): $40-$60 for males, $60-$80 for females (just local asks - Royals/Bourbons/Sweetgrass sometimes go for more 6 months to a year - though 4 months is close enough for the purpose of recompense). Check with some breeders in your area and total up feed/bedding/etc. costs as well - receipts are helpful.

Take care

Thanks. That helps, and gives me a place to start.
