Silkies $2.50 per chick, or juveniles, $3.00 for adults

EEs, & Mixed breeds: $1.00 per chick, Juvenile or adult birds

You sell for very reasonable prices, I have to say.
Silkies are only $3 per laying hen?
 
Anywhere from $5-$15 would be reasonable for 3-4 year old hens IMO.

*Personally* unless it were a rare breed or something specifically unusual like a proven broody or a show winner, I wouldn't pay more for an older hen than I'd pay for a chicken dinner cockerel.

After all, the stress of moving would probably throw her into a molt and who knows if she'd ever lay eggs again.
