how much should i charge

[miron28]

my wife said if i can find people to pay me to incubate eggs. she will let me buy the sports man incubator

how much would you charges for a dozen eggs to be incubated?

 

[brooster]

idk, depending on how many they want to hatch i would say .50 per hatched chick if they were small orders $1 a chick hatched. something like that sounds reasonable

 

[miron28]

you wouldn't charge a set price per dozen ? i was thinking like 10 dollars a dozen.

I would do it on a hatched basis...to me that would show you are takinf some of the resposibility and risk associated with hatching eggs

I would think the hatched basis would work best. People would be more willing to part with money if they know they won't be out anything if the hatch goes wrong or they die etc....

If they don't pay after the hatch then you have chicks to sell and can charge atleast $2 per chick.........

yeah if you charge them for a dozen and 1 hatches, you will not get any business after that

If they don't pay after the hatch then you have chicks to sell and can charge atleast $2 per chick.........

Or you could collect a small deposit before setting them​

yea your probably right i didn't think about this. but should i do a minimum amount of eggs like 5 or 10?

 

[brooster]

well, a minimum is a must, find out how much it will cost you to run the baor for 21 days, and then decide

 

[brooster]

if did it right it will cost under $.50 a day to run, like $.48 a day
