Would you trade a turkey for a roo straight across? craigslist...

I personally dont think a rooster is equal in monetary value to a turkey. Would you give someone a turkey for a rooster?

Depends on the breed of turkey and roo.... Normally I would say no, but if it's a show quality breed of something I was looking for I might consider it...

 

[PotterWatch]

No, unless it's just a poult and the rooster is good quality. Around here you can't give roosters away let alone trade them for something with worth.

I think it depends on the person. I myself would kill to have a turkey! DH won't let me have one. He's so mean! I wanted 2... named thanksgiving dinner, and Christmas dinner!

I have more roos than I know what to do with.

To add to it, the poster specifies that the roos must NOT be butchered because they are pets....

It all depends on the value to you. If you own a turkey that you just need off your hands and the rooster is one you really want/need, then it might be a fair trade.

If sold outright on CL or a swap, the average turkey would probably bring $20-30, but the roo only $5-10. At auction on Friday, my nice CW roo went for only $3.50, but I saw Royal Palm turkeys go for $40 each.

LOL. That right there would make me not take it. Even if it was a rooster I wanted for some reason, sometimes roos get butchered (aggressive, throwing bad traits).

Are the roosters show quality? A rare breed? Other than that, there's no way I would.
