Prices for barnyard mix hatching eggs & chicks

[Jennahlee87]

New here! I can’t seem to find prices on barnyard mix hatching eggs or baby chicks. I’m in south east Michigan. I have a variety in my flock from Silver Lakenvelder, Americanas, Lavender Orpington, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Silkie, etc. I would love to sell the hatching eggs and chicks. These are some of our eggs and our first hatch. Thank you for any info!

I have a mixed flock and ask $10/doz for eggs and $4 a chick unless blue or Lavender then more. In VA so far they sell fine

Mixed breed hatching eggs in my area are around $5-10 per dozen. Purebred hatching eggs are $2-5 or more per egg. With a bit of digging I can usually find hatching eggs for the same price as table eggs.

Before the latest "chick boom" barnyard mixes seemed to be offered for $2-3 per chick straight run. Now days you could probably get double that pretty easily.

I've had to go as low as $1 each a few years ago for some bantam/large fowl mixes. I usually just give away my extras now.

I'm in central Utah.

Thanks for the response! I mean In SE Michigan. I’ve s decided to sell the chicks for $3.00 each and have quite a few people interested in buying them. $6.00 per dozen for hatching eggs too.

That's an excellent start. You might want to check out the specific thread for your state! That's always a good place for local info.

I’m new to this site and haven’t quite figured it all out yet. I will try to finding that. Thanks!
