How do you decide on how much you will charge per chick?

For all you chicken breeders out there how do you decide what you want to charge per chick or per hen? How do you decide what is a reasonable price? Thanks.

I have not sold any chickens yet but i look online everyday. It really depends on what type of Chickens they are and if they are purebred or not. I hope somebody that has sold chickens can help.

When I sell chicks it depends on age, the ability to sex them, and breed. For chicks still under the light, straight run, I would sell for $3 to $5. $3 for common breeds $5 for rare. For chicks over 6 weeks old I'd sell for $5 straight run, $8-$15 for sexed pullets (again depending on breed and how sure I am of gender). For pullets about to start laying $10 to $20. For Laying hens $15 to $30. Roosters, depending on breed and age, anywhere from free to $25. This is just what I do. Hope this helps.
