Incubating Question.....

[danielle2003]

We have 9 adult chickens....7 Welsummer hens, 1 Easter Egger hen, and a rooster that was supposed to be a Prairie Bluebell Egger, but I think he's a Barred Rock. I know we'll have some extra eggs, and I was thinking of incubating some and selling the chicks.
But since I have multiple breeds, the chicks wouldn't be purebred or sexed. Would they still sell, maybe if I sold them cheaper?
Thank you.

Update... I just found out that a Barred Rock/Welsummer cross is an actual thing. Welbars, I think is what they're called. Can they be auto sexed? How is their temperament and their laying capacity?

For barred sex links the hen needs to be barred and the rooster needs to be "solid". You don't have to have to purebred birds to sell. For price ideas checking what is selling locally might be best.
