Spin off: What's the LEAST you've spent on a chicken? :)

[monarc23]

since free isnt allowed, the cheapest birds i've bought were like 88 cents from Tractor supply... older cornish chickies

$1 for my blue cornish and $1 for my black dutch bantam. They are both the broody queens!

 

[lovemychix]

$2 each.

A little more than two dollars, think its an EE, from TSC.

Has anyone ever been paid to take a chicken off someone's hands? Since a negative number is not a zero...

 

[TheDuckCrew]

well, zero. don't have any chickens! i've only bought my ducks and they were around $4.00 at my local Horses and hounds, which is like TSC

Last year I was at a big neighborhood fair and I ran across a pretty scuzzy homeless guy who had a sad looking pullet in a milk crate. She had a pizza crust int he crate and no water. The guy said he'd found her walking through a homeless camp the night before. I didn't have any money on me, but I traded him the big chocolate cupcake a friend had just given me.

My firend lived cloe by and had a unused dog run so I took her the pullet. After drinking a ton and eating a bunch of breakfast cerceal she really perked up. Last I heard she and her two new roomies were layign well and very happy.

So I I paid one chocoloate cupcake for a pullet.

The first time I ever went to a poultry auction (and the only birds I ever bought at an auction) were my cheapest.
I gave .35 each for 15 Easter Egger chicks at an auction 4 years ago. Three died because a box fell on them

The other 12 lived.
9 were hens 3 were roosters!
The ones I did not sell, I still have to this day and they lay the biggest eggs

I love this one! You probably saved the pullet from being someone's meal later on... Sounds like a win/win for the pullet and the hungry fellow.
