Around here you can get them for $50 -$100 a chick. A man was selling his whole flock for $500 - breeders, babies and all..... it just depends where you are and the going rate....
It seems a bit high to me, but as Chickenzoo said, it depends upon your area. Last year I sold my month old emu chicks for $50 each. I'd say it also depends upon how badly you want them... I readily pay more for something I just "need" to have
