How much should I ask for my Beautiful Splash Orpington Roo? pic heavy

[tberggren]

How do you come up with a fair price. I think he should go to a breeder or show home but need to price him out first.
Here is a picture I took this morning, he is in a pen with some Buff's waiting to go to their new home, gives you an idea about his size. He is 5 months old, nice dark eye also.

Not very clear sorry about that

Any thoughts??
Also he is one of "Gordie's" birds.

I would say somewhere between ten to twenty dollars...thats my guess since I always given away my roos.

I would put the price higher and than work your way down if it doesn't sell. I would easily pay 45-50 for him if I wanted one. He's a good quality bird.

I'm interested in him, but as a pet, not for show. I see you have him up on craigslist for $25 - is he still available?

Price depends on where you are. There are some places you can't even give them away. Like here. No one wants a rooster. That is one reason I began putting them in my freezer.

I don't know how much you could charge for him but he sure is beautiful.

Hi Katie,
Yes he is still available. Are you in the Upstate NY area?

wannabechickraiser, thank you for sharing your thoughts. I think he is a very good representation of the breed.

i have been looking for a breeder for my blue australorp project , but the set back is any out of state bird must have a npip or a health cert from a vet in your state to send it to the arizona state vet here. i would love to have him. shipping costs could be a factor too! but all that is certainly your call.

thank you

I usually sell my roos for $10 to $20 a piece. I would say closer to $20 for that bird. People will pay it.
