Price of day old chicks?

[mamawolf544]

I am new to this and I have someone wanting to buy day old chicks.
I am in the DFW area of Texas. I dont want to price myself out of the market.
Right now I am getting $25.00 for 100 eggs. So what is everyone getting on day olds?
Thanks,
Terri

If i were you I'd look into ads around your area and try to compete with those

I have almost no competition here in my area however no one really wants to buy my day olds so it's not much of an issue.

My day olds are $1.50 each 3+ week olds are $3.50 and laying adults are $5

For showquality Showgirls and showquality silkies I charge from day one $5.

McMurry wants 1.32 for day olds. So, maybe start out at 1.50 to 2.00.

I have never Ever seen quail for sale in our area nor have I ever met anyone besides me who has ever owned any.

Well for me, if i found a couple of Ameraucanas that laid a nice blue egg, not the pale almost white ones but the real blue eggs, i'd pay $ 25 per pullet.

I sell day-olds for $1 each, and that's up to 1 week old. They go up $.50 each week after.

That's how I priced them in the end a $1 per. It is a hunting lodge. So we will see.
BTW my Ameraucanas (sp) lay beautiful blue eggs, they are lighter now because they are molting and I got them 2 yrs ago from McMurray hatchery. I ordered 23 hens and 2 roos. And every one of them lays BLUE eggs. Give them a try.
