do they need to be Show Quality???

You can sell hatching eggs for anything, mixed breeds even if you want. Just make sure they label and price the eggs accordingly. What that price is depends on where you are, and what your customers are willing to pay.

I say let the buyer decide

if you post pics then the buyer sees what they are getting.

Ok thanks guys! So how much should I price one egg?

 

[duckyfromoz]

Its very unlikely someone would buy just one egg. Eggs sent through the mail sometimes have a greatly reduced chance of hatching. Even selling as half dozens often ends in someone only hatching a single ducklings which either grows up alone- or the person has to go find something else to brood with it. You may find that selling them as eating eggs to someone very local who will pick them up may be more successful since you dont have to worry so much about sending them by post in the first week when they have the best chance of starting to develop. Next spring when you have more laying would be different.

Well I mean, It depends of what kind of money you want. I can sell PQ muscovy ducklings for $4-5 but from my good muscovys I could EASILY sell them day old for $12...

Also, with adult Muscovys. I sell pet quality ones for $40 a pair and show ones for $150 a pair..
