Hey there,
I’m new to this group and hoping to get some advice. I’ve been a chicken owner for a few years now, but this year my husband and I want to take it seriously and start a business. We want to sell hatching eggs, chicks, laying hens, meat birds (after they’re butchered), and same for ducks. Some of the breeds we’ll be selling are ameraucana, olive eggers, khaki Campbells, Easter Eggers, and then some barnyard mixes. Can you tell me how much we should be selling everything for? I reached out to some local people about buying buff orpington and copper Maran chicks and I was told by several people $15 a chick. That seemed a little steep to me but is that just the market nowadays? Any advice would be much appreciated!
