Not sure what I can get for these hens & Rooster (Ayam Cemani)

[ChickedFarmer]

I hope this is the right place for this. If not, please let me know. We got these Ayam Cemani eggs from a local breeder and have raised the chickens to maturity. Now that they're grown (and the Rooster is causing a ruckus) we'd like to sell them. However, we're not sure what a reasonable asking price would be. I know that Ayam Cemanis can go for a pretty penny, but a lot goes into verifying their purity and the like. I've come across figures like ~$100 for eggs and ~$500+ for pure Roosters/chickens. However, we have no real way of verifying their purity. I know most of the hens are pure, save perhaps 1 or two. And the Rooster is all black except his waddle, which is a deep red (shame!). Anyway, just wanted to ask for y'all's advice about a reasonable price, and how to go about selling them. Never have dealt with such a breed before. I've attached some pics so you could see for yourself. Can get petter pics if need be.

Thanks a bunch!

200 bucks for adults is what they are going for here in Tennessee

That ain't too bad. Is that just adults in general, no preference for sex? And does the "quality" not make much of a difference?

Thanks!

I guess they're worth what someone is willing to pay. They would not sell for anything like that here, maybe $60 for a trio as eating or project birds. It is very common for the females to have darker skin than the males because of how the black skin characteristics are passed genetically. The coloration is not so much an indication of purity but more of the quality. If your rooster and some of the females have poor fibro expression it may be that they're from a pet quality, not breeding quality, line. There's nothing wrong with that but it affects value since lower quality Ayam Cemanis are not too hard to acquire.

Yeah, I don't really think they're of "breeder" quality. Thanks for the advice!
