The value of hatchery birds is lower due to quality of breed and the fact a large percentage become egg bound and perish second and third year of laying.
At a year old they are not point of lay birds. Point of lay would have a higher value than year olds, birds that have been laying all summer and nearing molt and winter.
Area has much to do with value of livestock. In my area where pullets and hens are easier to obtain point of lay birds are $20 and year old $15.
