Selling Chickens

[Ardella Crawford]

I think I need to sell off my chickens and ducks, and not try to keep them any longer. What/where is the best way to advertise them, and what are good ways to ensure that good people get them? Also, what is a reasonable price to ask for chickens/ducks that are laying well? I also have two drakes and some roosters that are a year old and then a few others that were hatched this year. Would I need to expect to give them away rather than sell them?

Appreciate any advice. I live in Southwestern Pennsylvania, just in case anyone reads this who might be interested in any of these birds.

Sorry to hear that you need to get out of the poultry keeping.
Post some picture of your chickens in your posting.
You should also consider posting on your State thread. This way you target readers in your general closer vicinity.
Coincidently, there are some postings there about selling items, including chickens, so read. And ask what prices are going for your area.
As to drakes, and roosters,, Yes you would have to give them away in most cases. Offer them as a bonus to those purchasing your hens.
