I have truly enjoyed the brooder stage with my chicks and am looking forward to the spring when I can order more chicks. I've calculated the math of buying double the amount I would like of females, raising them to maybe 8-weeks, and selling them as hand-raised, pasture-fed pullets.
What do you think? What do hatchery-quality pullets (Red Star, Black Star, Orps, etc.) fetch as 8-week old pullets?
Locally, in the Albany area, they've been snatched up quickly at $20-25. Is this typical? Thanks!
(Not trying to make a fortune...just support my "habit!")
