The Moonshiner's Leghorns

At least you know they still lay!

These girls are 5-6 months old, so new layers.

Advice needed. Somebody wants to buy 2 dozen hatching eggs from my EE hens fertilized by my Ameraucana cockerels. I know this is a Leghorn thread, but you guys are the only ones I know to ask. ANY idea how much to ask? I mean yeah I realize she's going to be hatching out EEs, but I don't even have a clue. She's local, no shipping. She goes to my church. It's a home schooling project.

THANKS.

If you didn’t know her and she wasn’t a church member I’d say $30. But because you do and she is I’d just tell her to meet you at the feed store and buy a bag of feed lol. I’m a sucker though, if I know someone I have a hard time taking their money unless I dislike them.

That is a tough one. My BYM hatching eggs i purchase from someone who has lots of chickens and happens to have roosters so she just charged me what she charges all her regular (eating) egg customers. I feel like I'd probably charge a dollar per egg but I also don't know what a fair price is. Maybe look at what day old Ee chicks cost from the local farm store and charge half of that per egg?

Thanks. I paid probably $3 - 5 per chick for my EE chicks. The Ams I paid closer to $30 but that's moot since these won't be pb Am eggs. Maybe someday ... That really helps though. I like @Kung_pao 's suggestion, too! Thank you both.
