I've sold cockerels and roosters for a fair amount of money on CL.
I sold a Jaerhon cockerel for $25 and a Penedesenca rooster for $35 and they were extras I wasn't going to be breeding. At that price, I knew they weren't buying them for the pot.
I didn't just post a one line ad. I gave a detailed description about the breed and how they were raised. Organic feed, organic pasture, probiotics, etc.. I think that made a huge difference.
I have at least 20 headed there. Just have to select who gets culled first and then find the time.
I just refuse to give birds away that cost me 20 or 30 to raise. I'll eat each last one of them before I let someone else do that.
interesting,,,, seems similar to a menu, the longer the description the higher the price
