I’m new to this and was wondering if someone can help me. I have 2 7 week old speckled Sussex/white leghorn cross. 3 2 week old white leghorn cross. I’m wanting to start selling to support my habit. . How do I figure out how to price these chickens?
I’ve never sold any, but the comments I’ve read here on BYC is $30 for known pullets that are purebred. $10 for mixed breeds and $5 for roosters. But you can always ask for more and be open to people haggling. But supply and demand play a major factor on how much you sell them for.
Hopefully someone with more experience actually selling chickens can offer some insight.
ETA: Keep track of your expenses such as feed, water, bedding, time (since time is money ) and divide that information by how many chicks used those items and as long as you sell them more than what your expenses were, the habit will be worth it.
