how much should I charge $$$$$

[juice]

Hi, I have 8 hens that are 1 and 1/2 years old. They are still producing eggs but unfortunately I have 14 new hens that I bought to replace the other ones with. The hen house won't accomodate all of them. So here is my problem. How much is a fair price to sell the 8 for??? thanks.

what kind of hens, where are you located (don't know where hastings is)?

 

[huntinwidow]

Yes, we need to know what type of hens you have. That is the deciding factor in how much they should sell for.

hmm id consider it if the hens are a breed I could incubate eggs from for new stock-for the group-hmm honeslty I would pay 25-30$ I could be way off on this but this is what I would pay

I would say $7.00 to $10.00 per bird.

Here in the heart of dixie they would go for $8 - $10 apiece or probably $60 for the lot.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
