Exhibition Rhode Island Red Pricing

[Race3]

Ok, so I am interested in getting quality RIRs, and I have a friend who knows a breeder, but I was wondering what the price differences were. I know they are more expensive than a farm store (like TSC or Rural King) bird, but how much of a price difference? I was thinking about $25 per bird, is that accurate? (The birds I'll be getting are from Indiana if that makes a difference.)

Prices can be all over the place as can what a breeder "thinks" their birds are worth.
Also depends on yours as well as the sellers idea of "quality".
IMO there's no answer for this.
