If you want to hatch and sell chicks you may find some of the more "common" breeds are also very popular. Enjoy the site!

I only keep the standard breeds so I can't tell you anything about the old or heritage breeds other than some are very pretty birds!

Good luck with your new venture and welcome to BYC!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! If you do a search, there are quite a few threads on BYC about how to have your chickens at least help pay for themselves, ie https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/437733/can-you-make-money-with-chickens There is another older thread on rare breeds in the US https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/421549/rarest-breed-of-chicken-in-the-us Think the flagship hatchery for selling rare breeds in the US is Greenfire Farms if you want to check out their model.

I hope you find everything that you need to know. Good luck with your chicken raising adventure!

The raising baby chicks forum may give you good advice!
