I'm going to sell two of my hens on Houston.craigslist. org, and I was wondering how much money I should ask for them. Both hens were hatched on March 23, 2009 at a well respected hatchery in MO. One is a RIR and the other is a WR. The RIR is laying large eggs again, after stopping for about three weeks for a winter break. She literally lays practically every day. The WR hasn't started laying again. I've never put a light in their coop. I don't care whether they go together or not. I'm getting rid of them because I want some new Ameraucanas.

I didn't want to ask too much. How much are they worth?

Thanks.

I think you should start at 15 for the laying RIR - see what people say.

For the WR - maybe wait a week?, if she starts laying again she'll be a good quality laying bird and you'll get more money out of her.

So I'd recommend saying the pair could go for 25 and seperately, 15 a piece. I don't know what the market is like in houston, but try it out - you can always repost on craigslist.
 
Man. Why can't more people sell chickens in Wisconsin???

I have a hard time getting people to sell theirs around here.

I would take your RIR. Too bad TX is a 25 hour drive.
