Sebright quality

[Songbird21]

I'm trying to figure out what my sebrights are worth. I love them but sadly, I need to downsize. I've enclosed a pic of my roo and one hen. I know the roo's comb isn't standard. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not an expert in giving advice on prices, however I do breed golden and silver laced sebrights and you are correct about the comb of the rooster. The colors aren't horrible, and the hen doesn't look bad either. I think they're pretty in their own way, especially the hen. And I don't mind the comb, but it's not breed standard as far as I have researched.
I would sell them as a pair. Where we are (in the country) they'd probably only go for about $20-$30 for the pair, and that's a good breeding pair. I'm not sure about your area and what people normally sell pairs for. I know there is a demand for sebrights in some places or at least bantams, but these aren't necessarily the best breeding pair so I'd go on the lower range of the average price in your area.

Okay. Thank you very much for the advice. I really appreciate it.

I agree with Tchlloyd0812 that you will want to sell them as a pair. Actually I agree with everything they posted - it is pretty on point. I think the price really depends on your area. I ended up with an entire batch of cockerels, so I couldn't offer pairs, and I still sold them for $15/ea. Granted, mine were silver sebrights, but I think $20-40 is a reasonable amount for a pair of goldens. Snoop your local facebook groups and craigslist for bantams. It'll give you a good idea of what you could get. If you're in a hurry, go lower. Good luck.
