When are Turkeys ready?

[Aycchicks]

So I ordered 10 turkey chicks (they gave me 12 and all have survived) from the hatchery during lockdown. I thought it would be a fun project for Christmas. Of course it was a bit early and they are currently 12 weeks And should be at 4kg oven ready so will be huge For Christmas.
My question is I just started them on finisher as advised by the feed ( growers till 12weeks then finisher after 12+ weeks) how soon till I can start Enjoying the fruits of my labour? And any tips on getting them oven ready (I’ve heard I’ll need tweezers for the little feathers)

What variety?
BBB are usually harvested at 16 to 24 weeks. Depending how big of a bird you want
Heritage take longer. My jakes at 6 months dress out 10 to 12 lbs.

They look like a heritage breed, so you'll probably need to grow them out for six months for birds on the larger side (4ish kilos)- if that's what you're looking for.

Just curious. Are they in a basement?

They are Bronze “Plumpy” Turkeys from the hatchery please see attached for weights at age. Ha no basement they were in my barn when I took the picture.
Any tips on harvesting or just Old school how Grandma use to it?
