How much should I sell my hens for?

I would say $10 is a fair price for your non laying WR and $12 for the laying RIR.

 

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.

 

I had the same problem. I tried selling them and did not get any takers. I had to give them to a friend.

 

Research your Craigslist and neighboring towns Craigslist, and see what the market price is in Houston. Here, they would be at least 15 apiece.

 

Also don't forget to put them in the newspaper! I get more calls from the newspaper ads than I do from 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.

 

Because here in WI we (I) would never pay that much for a laying hen! Terri O in WI

 

$15 to $20
