Breed and gender question

[Amy King Hanson]

Considering that, what would you sell fertile eggs and chicks for? I'm sure she'll get prettier and maybe he'll add more color to chicks?

I'm trying to be positive and find an angle, lol.

For hatchery stock no more than $15-$20 really.

Jubilee chicks are yellow when they hatch. I've been raising Jubilees for 4 years now and mine are show quality. I sell day old chicks for $10 each and hatching eggs for $40 a dozen. Its more of a what you can get in your area than what they're worth kinda deal.

Thanks everyone!
I have a couple of breeds I sell and my nitch is the back yard fun chicken flocks and some back yard breeder hobbyists.
I was thinking $4 an egg and $10 for chick. That's what I sell my Cream Legbars for.
We'll see. I actually sold these to my brother-in-law when they were chicks and he doesn't want roosters. I'm trying to convince him to keep the rooster and I'll sell eggs/chicks for him. If you think I should lower price for future eggs/chicks then I'd probably rehome the rooster.

I'd try it for one season and see how you do.

Yea I would not pay that price for a hatchery bird. That is just knowingly ripping someone off which is what the hatcheries do selling at that price since they only care about money and not the quality. It does depend a lot on quality of the stock and the breed not what they can pull in your area.

Here is an updated picture of the pair! They feathered out much better and I love her tail so far.com

Wow, for hatchery stock they're pretty nice.

I'm sad that he lost so much of his white but glad she feathered in with more white. I LOVE how both their tails are so full and fluffy!!
