They can be, but I dont belive Ill ever pay anything close to that for one. Although Id love to sell some for that.

There are buyers who will pay for a good bird.

My BigRed is worth far more than $70 to me.

 

[what was i thinking]

i bought my whole flock for that. mine of course are just a backyard mix....but holy cow! i got 42 chickens for $90

It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, whether or not your or I think it is worthy.

A friend who was helping me get into show poultry, gave me a rooster that he had earlier turned down $100.00 for!

 

[what was i thinking]

wow

The breeder that I got my Silkies from told me she spent $200 on one of her roos

Adult Silkie roos from championship lines are typically $50++ so he's probably worth it.
