i found a Pair of 4 month old bantam speckled Sussex - less than 500 in the US.. $75. Is it worth it

If it is worth it i will be one happy chicken

Breeding stock on the Meyer Hatchery is typically from $100 to $150 for a pair or trio of birds, and those listed aren't as rare as these bantams. I haven't seen them on any of the big hatchery sites and all the boutique breeders have waiting lists and are not listing their price on the website: typically a sign that they are pretty pricey.

Do they look healthy and line up with the breed standard? If so, I say go for it

Think about it... The farmer has almost $50 invested in feed alone in 3 birds that age. I'd say good deal if you are interested in breeding.
