Sell price for meat birds?

What is the average price you sell meat birds for?

As chicks? Full grown? Already processed?

Sorry, all of those. We are trying to decide whether to sell them now as 4-5 week old chicks, full grown, or processed. Someone sold us day old chicks that we thought were a different breed but are definitely Cornish.

If you just do t want them and dont plan to process them, then sell them now. You could process as young as 6 weeks for a decent bird, but 7-8 weeks should get you a good supermarket size bird.

if you process before sale, that will depend on your location. What state are you in? I’m in Ohio and I can sell processed chickens from my “doorstep” to an individual, up to a certain number per year. But, not all states are like that. Selling any other way (like to a restaurant) takes a lot more requirements. Some states do not allow you to sell at all without certain requirements met.

Yeah I think we have to sell before processing. After processing can gift it to family or friend only.
