bird buying

[DERWOOD]

Hey yall I have a hen house and every thing I need but I do not know prices that well .
what is a good price for Americana chicks like 25 cents each or so?

That is a great price! Not one you are likely to pay but i would sure buy some at that! Sorry...try more like $1.25 or so depending on location location location...and of course quailty of bird...for true ones and not EE's that price will go up

LOL! You'll never find chicks for .25 cents unless they are a mixed breed, and even then not likely! The lowest I have ever found being askes was 1.50.

You do know that Americauna's/Auracanas will probably not end up being what you get, right. Hatcheries and people who aren't educated on the difference sell them as those, but 99 percent of the time they are EE's.

EE's meaning "Easter Eggers".

How much research have you done on different breeds? Check these two sites: www.mypetchicken.com and www.feathersite.com

$3-$5 is about the avarage price for chicks.
