    I have a beef farmer with a flock of bared rock and rir.

    Their roo died...their ladies want a new roo.

    I have 1 delaware, 2 red stars they can choose from. They just want 1. I got these as day old chicks last year May 11th.


    I live in Northern IL.


    What's a fair price?


    or should I tell him I want a couple of steaks or burger? [​IMG]

    Most roos are a dime a dozen-that was just a pun lol! Sometimes the price varies on breed and temperment I guess. Most people trade or give away surplus roos. You are lucky you have someone who actually wants one! Trade is a good option. My friend freebie here sold her barred rock roo several years ago at a auction for $8.00, but he was the only standard roo and it was a spring auction, later at the fall auction there was roos galore! Trading for a good steak or some hamburger sounds good. Good luck.

    A trade sounds yummie...I'd go for the steak too... 2 Nice sized steaks would be a fair trade, IMHO...

    I have had to give away 4 nice roos recently. But a fair price would be $10, I think.
