Big healthy boys.
All young and ready for a new flock or the dinner table.
All get along with each other.
Not aggressive to people or kids.
Come pick out as many as you’d like.
$50-$75 each

Ok then. When selecting for a Wyandotte cockerel for your project, try selecting a good one, reputation goes a long way and having good quality birds helps immensely

ok thanks i was thinking of just getting 2 to 3 pullets along with him! By the way what is NPIP???

That's a lot of roosters is 50 to 75 dollars an average??? most around me are like 5 to 10 dollars. darn sacremento is far away from me sorry.

What is your main flock? Bantams, large fowl? My own opinion of Rhode Island Reds is that they tend to be aggressive, so I would not risk having one for a rooster. But others may see this breed differently.

I would agree. My Japanese bantam is very sweet and has even became a “mother” to orphaned baby chicks letting them go under him. They are a sweet breed.

I think you mentioned somewhere about breeding wyandottes but if you’re interested I probably will be selling my pure Japanese bantam eggs when weather gets warmer. They would be white black tailed.

Yes, that’s a average. That’s actually considered somewhat cheap but you have to take certain things into mind.
Are they pure/show quality?
Have they won show awards?
Are they pet quality?
Are they both? (Show and pet quality) will be very expensive then.
Are they good with children and not aggressive?
Age? If they are adults they usually cost more.

All of these things must be put into thought and if they are show quality, won awards, and pet quality, you could expect to pay a lot of money.

NPIP is an acronym for the National Poultry Improvement Plan.

NPIP is an acronym for the National Poultry Improvement Plan.

Becoming NPIP certified is a choice, but breeders who are certified are usually more trusted and have more buyers than those who are not. If you are wanting to ship live birds or hatching eggs out of state you MUST be NPIP to do so.
