What's the quality like at that price? It's much lower than I've paid. My business and economics studies taught me an interesting stat. If you charge low people will assume lesser quality. There are studies where therapists and consultants who struggled for clients jacked their price up and then couldn't keep up with the workload as the phone rang off the hook.
Thank you.... I put them for $20@ or 3 for $45. Straight run.I see some ads selling chicks and hatching eggs, and I just cringe when I see pictures of the stock. Breeders like that do the breed a huge disservice by propagating poorly bred birds. Redbanks has great stock and a good eye.
Has your pullet started laying yet?He wasn't big enough to be worth the trouble of butchering.He was half the size he should have been and underdeveloped. We humanely culled him today. You were right that not even extra calf manna could help him. He definitely had some kind of genetic abnormality because he never started crowing and he should have been at that age. Freak chickens happen. We have a line of gamefowl that threw a rumpless cockerel once.
I used to sell my Bouviers below the top breeder prices even though I had the same bloodlines but once I became known I had no trouble commanding better prices. I agree about prices. When you are in a bargain shop you won't pay as much as you would in a nicer shop for the same item. I have friends/customers who won't buy a bargain item cheap but will buy the same item with a high price. Same if you give something to someone for free, they don't appreciate it, they think it is an inferior item because it was free. Mutt versus purebred.... same situation. I will see how it goes with the chicks. I don't care if they sell or not. I can keep them and cull some of the older hens.
