The 5th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[Corny Caleb]

So, I was thinking, If all my emu eggs hatch, I might sell one. I have been looking up prices that people have been selling theirs at, and at different stages of an emu's life, and I've seen $120 dollars for a straight run emu chicks at 5 days old, then It jumped to $800-1,000 for a 3 month old sexed emu, then it went to about $3,000-5,000 for a 5-6 month old emu. I don't want to over price the chick (IF it hatches AND if I really do sell it), But I would like to get a fair price out of it.
