Need help with pricing of egg laying hens (selling)

[Flying Frizzle]

Hi all. I always have a hard time with pricing of my chickens. I sell Silkies mostly but have a few Blue Cochins and a couple of Salmon Favorelles that I am listing in my hometown. Any idea of how much I should ask for each bird? The Blue Cochins are about a year and a half old and the Salmons are about a year old. All are laying and friendly. Any advice? TIA!

It depends on the market in your area. Have you checked Craiglist for a ballpark estimate?

Yes but there is such a wide range between $15-$55 for laying hens. I just want to be fair with what I am asking for. I am in central California.

You could try asking this on your state thread. Not sure which area of CA you are in so here are all 3 links:

• California, Northern
• California, Southern
• SF Bay Area
