How much are peachicks worth?

[judyc]

Theres someone near me that has peafowl eggs for sale. They want $8 an egg.

Now, I don't want to KEEP them, but would like to hatch them if I won't lose money on it.

If you can pick them up for $8 an egg and avoid having them shipped you need to be all over them. I would give $8 an egg in a heartbeat if I could pick them up locally.

But...will I be able to sell the peachicks readily?

I don't want to raise them....

 

[Struttn1]

You could if you lived near me.

 

[judyc]

LOL! Well, I live near Crawfordsville, IN.

I emailed about them. We'll see what happens.

Peachicks around here go typically anywhere from $25 - $40 a chick as IBlues, Other colors go higher.

If the eggs are not mixed $8 per egg is a good deal, around here India Blue eggs go $10 ea. Pea chicks start at $25 for week olds and go up from there.

Well, I pick the eggs up tomorrow. They are blues and pieds.

I'm blaming it all on you guys!

You could always sell the eggs for a small profit if you don't want to deal with the peachicks. I wish I could come across that near me.

I would buy them. I cant even find eggs around here ,let alone the chicks. I did buy an older pair last week BUT the female escaped when my 12 yr old son didnt close the door behind him fast enough. I feel bad I yelled at him. It wasnt his fault. I just was mad that $40 flew away the day I got them home. She hasnt been seen since.
