I Need Help On These Rare Expensive Lavender Orpington Chicks

[Katy]

So are you wanting to know what price you should sell the chicks for? That would depend on the quality of birds the eggs came from and the quality of the chicks themselves.

Without some background on the chicks parents and what line they came from you probably won't be able to get very much for the chicks.

They are just not that rare....and there are a lot of not very good ones out there that are a long way from anything resembling an orpington. Too many people have bred them willy nilly without trying to continue to improve them. I don't know where you got the eggs, but if they advertised them as extremely rare they weren't really being honest on their advertising.

what if i got blood lines and such from the seller and they where good would i be able to sell them for much then?

Here in Austin, TX no chick is sold above $10 and that is high most are at $5 even my rare barnevelder goes for just $7 if you can find them. However if it is a female over 5 weeks and good quality the price jumps. So in your case list your high price but neg based on more that one purchase and see what happens. They are a PERRRTY chicken and you might get a good response.

You're not the breeder so really you'd just be passing along whatever the breeder told you. That's fine but you should understand that there is a huge difference between what you are selling and chicks being sold by an established breeder who has a portfolio of photos to give an impression of quality. You simply will not get top dollar.

I'd suggest listing them for auction and letting the market decide what is a fair price.
