Average Chick Prices

[Windus]

I paid $3 each for my Lavender Orpington chicks last spring

Here Olive Egg layers are in demand .....I was offered $35 for my Pullet that just started laying...I created her...

I mean....your rooster and hen probably helped a bit

I would agree, they're worth whatever people will pay for them. Some places sell some types of chicks for $200, some can't get $2 for them. I'd do some research on what your local markets are doing and then work from there. Go to the local animal swaps (usually at local feed/farm stores) and scour craigslist to get a feel.

Hey. thank you so much! You just gave me such a great idea! I'm thinking of starting a hatching egg adventure, but I know Ill get addicted to it and I cannot possibly keep all the chicks I'm going to hatch. We have an animal auction house near me, they do small animal sales once a month and I can take my extras (cockerels and pullets that I'm not keeping and don't sell) there! You are awesome

Here, Cream Legbars go for mucho deneiro! LOL They are hard to find.

I know a breeder that lives about an hour from me. He's going to sell me a trio of Cream Legbars for $70 in the spring. Which is an awesome price in my opinion.

Yes, average price here...$30 a Pullet and $10 a Cockerel...Quality and breed plays into pricing....
