Buff geese - gosling prices?

[KellyHM]

A guy has Buff Goslings near me and wants $15/gosling. Is that reasonable? Sounds a little pricey to me, but I don't know much about that particular breed.

How old is it and is it SQ or from a hatchery?

You cant tell if a gosling is SQ until full grown. But obviously they do have a better chance of being SQ if they come from SQ parents.

That's kinda what I meant,

They have the parents, but I'm not sure if they're SQ...I doubt it though. They're around 4 weeks old.

Try to chew him down a couple of bucks. Maybe $12 per gosling.

Buffs from Holderreads cost $20 a piece (non SQ) and $30 (SQ). Buffs form McMurray are $11 or $12 I think. Both of those would cost you shipping and all of them are sold out, so in my opinion $15 is fair.

$15 is what I would charge if I were selling any of my non SQ babies.

EDIT to add - if I were selling 4 week old goslings the price would actually go up. I'm talking day old price or at the most, less than a week old.
