Simple response..Here's one on here that I'm not sure how to respond (Not that I'm going to engage them)
has craigslist gone crazy (missouri)
How is it a day old pullet chick avg 2.25 from a hatchery. It takes avg of 34 pounds of feed (avg cost 8.25 for 34#) and ppl on here are asking $15.00 each for 4 month old pullets. How much profit they trying to make? 7.00 for a baby duck? How ignorant is it going to get on here.....
Obviously, they aren't taking into consideration: heating, housing, labor hauling water/feed/shavings (in & out of the brooder/coop) and I'm sure there's other "hidden" cost that I'm forgetting. And that's assuming they bought the chick at the feed store...I'm sure someone selling the 4 month old pullet had that pullet start as an egg that they incubated (and raised the mama & papa).
