Hello, for a 4-H project this year, I decided to do something different. I purchased 50 pullets, golden comets, BRs, and EEs, in mid April and was planning on selling at around 4-5 months old. Well they are little pigs and are eating a ton of feed, and I need the pens they are in for other chickens. So I am selling them now, at 3 months old. Not quite point-of-lay but close. Being that this is a 4-H project, I am hoping to get a reasonable amount of money for them. We live in an area where older pullets are in demand, but it is also a somewhat poor area. I just don't know what to charge. I have put a ton of tiem and money in them, and thye are all growing great and are in perfect health, also they are in nice bedding so they are very clean.
I also plan to market them through craigslist, agriseek, BYC, the two feed stores in town, grocery stores, and the two local free newspapers that are popular. I was thinking about $8 each for 11 or less and $7 if you buy 12 or more. Again this is a 4-H project and all are pullets except one BR turned out to be a roo. Does you think that is too high, too low, or a good price? Thanks!
