Selling pullets

[sarah4hchickens]

I was wondering what you guys charge for 15 week old pullets? They are from a hatchery and are very healthy and happy and a good size.

Was having this very thought.... till the !@%#$^!&^ coons.

I would think $10-15.

Like selling anything, but especially live animals or their products....it depends on the market.
Look around(feed store ads, craigslist, FB poultry pages) and see what POL birds are selling for and adjust your price accordingly. Start high, can always have a 'sale', but harder to 'up' the price.

Also depends on how savvy a seller you are and what your goal is.
Are you wanting to make the most possible profit or just make your money back?

One year I kept pretty careful track of feed used between hatch and lay, think I came up with less than $10 per bird.

young pullets are valuable, all the hard work is over and it's almost egg time, around me I see them going $20-$30.
