Why do fertile eggs cost more than chicks?
A lot of good replies here. I'm starting to understand why eggs cost more in some instances. If you want certain purebred, show quality chicks. OK, but what about eggs of the same quality as the chicks you can buy for $2.00 sexed as females? At a 50% hatch rate and 50% roosters, a $4.00 egg...- bilros

Why do fertile eggs cost more than chicks?
Actually, I was wondering the same thing myself. You can buy day old chicks for as low as $2.00 each. I just bought 24 Red Stars and with shipping, they were about $3.00 each for females! Fertile eggs cost MUCH more and I would like to know why also.- bilros
