That’s so wonderful!! I can understand why someone would want to keep their breed going by giving away free birds, but also, if the breed doesn’t really “look” like a chicken and is more of the exhibition-only type (frills, fancy, not useful in the wild lol) it could be worth more to people who...

Those are the prices I’m used to yes. I’m guessing it must be for really good well known bloodlines to go a lot higher

It’s a local breeder here who does Macaws, Cockatoos, peacocks, toucans, etc. also so I’m guessing it might be inflation given their other birds sell for $3000-$20,000.

That would make sense, since those first 2 werent being sold at a show. And that’s good to know I’m glad people support the clubs that way!

Thank you for your experience! That makes sense that certain breeders who gatekeep their breeds and basically have a monopoly on them can make 10k on a pair. I’ve just heard these crazy numbers recently and I was very confused if people actually paid these.

Why would you donate good breeder birds??

That’s so interesting actually bc I was talking to a few people who are selling a lavender silkie ($700), Ayam cemani ($1500), Egyptian fayoumus ($1100), Andalusian ($1500), white faced black Spanish ($2000), and D’Anvers bantam ($850). All “very good” quality according to their breeders. Maybe...

Not a chicken, I said “other birds” aka not chickens 😂

Lol no I’m talking about certain peacocks, African grey parrots, etc.

Hello everyone! I’m hoping some experienced exhibitioners can shed some light onto the prices they’ve seen or engaged with for high quality top tier chickens. I know that other birds can go for $5000+ for a high quality adult of a rare breed, but I’m wondering what the same top tier chickens...

I wish there was a chart I could just follow to make it happen haha! I guess it’s just trial and error on a large scale, I’ll update this post to see how it goes! :)

They really don’t exist in the USA

AMAZING!!! Thank you for such a detailed explanation! This is very helpful!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼😄 Other than colour, the other obstacle is breeding to the Silkie SOP. So if the starting buff male is a silkie adhering “perfectly” to the SOP (theoretically), I could still theoretically get reds that look more...

“Because the dilute gene is dominant, you might have some issues of having the red properly express.” Yes, that’s one of the things I’m concerned about. If it’s even possible at all to achieve a RIR colour if the diluters just keep coming back and back.
