What's a fair price for MF d'Uccle chicks from my show stock?

Day old unsexed chicks from proven show stock? Parent stock that has won Best of Breed, Best of Class, Best of Variety, etc at APA/ABA sanctioned shows?
That will all influence the price you can charge for your birds.
 
People and prices are a crazy thing. Some will do the research and have a good sense of the value while others will base it off hatchery prices. I've got a person who wants a couple dozen day old chicks, knows I charge $60/dozen for hatching eggs and offered me $3.00 per chick.

That doesn’t correlate.
What breed?

My breeders have not been shown yet, but their parents get consistent blues at APA/ABA shows here. Unfortunately, I won't be in state by the time the first APA/ABA show opens. It's Tunisia and Kibo. If anyone knows SOP, what value would you place on the parents?

And yes, day old unsexed. I was thinking $15-$20/chick

Is that too much? Supply is very low here, but demand is incredibly high.

That's a lot. I charge 20 for adults hatched from my Calls that are inferior, but still hatched from decent parents.
Even with SOP parents, you can't sell show quality chicks. I'd say 10 tops. Even that's a lot. Most breeders I know sell for less than hatcheries, not wanting to make money.
