How much do I charge for hatching eggs?

[LindseyM12]

Hi all, I was wondering how much I should charge for pure breed Rhode Island Red and Barred Plymouth Rock hatching eggs. Thanks!

That depends on a lot of things: the quality of your birds, the number of eggs being shipped, then there's the shipping costs as well. The most I would pay for RIR is about $12, but I really don't like them

Maybe $20 for a dozen BR, if they are decent quality. Both these would include shipping

Just go with what you think they are worth, and if that doesn't work, lower your price

Or hatch them yourself

I charge $12 for a doz. Barred Rock and $16 for a doz. Speckled Sussex eggs and shipping supplies plus shipping cost which depends on where they are shipped.
