Agreed. Your local market is the determining factor. Some regions are interested in production breeds, others ornamental breeds, some areas are willing to pay top dollar while others wouldn't consider paying more than $10-12. You can try to list them high and lower the price later if you have no takers.Depends on what part of the country you live in. I live in southeastern Louisiana and people do not like to pay over $15 for an egg layer. Specialty breeds in my area dont go over $30 per bird.
I’m not selling them all.. I love my chickens. I am just selling maybe 1 or 2 of each breed so I can hatch some chicks this spring. My cousin was wanting to buy some from me and I wanted to know a reasonable price to sell them at. I just don’t have the room to keep them all plus the chicks that I’m wanting to hatch.. and I’m really wanting to hatch some chicks
I would say so, the person paying for the birds don’t have to rear chicks or do much of the hard work, they just get to buy laying pullets. Are your birds a year old yet? I believe once they’re a year old pullets are called hens and cockerels are called roostersSo if I am doing this right that equals a little over $31 each?? That seems a little much but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never bought anything other than chicks. I have 20 chickens who go through a $13 bag of food a week. So if I do 13x52 and then divide by 20 I get $31.2. Is that a fair price?
.....and your sales/marketing savvy.Your local market is the determining factor.
Selling to a relative is a whole other ball game.I’m not selling them all.. I love my chickens. I am just selling maybe 1 or 2 of each breed so I can hatch some chicks this spring.
