Wanted: Maran's

To the original poster, if you state your location it will be easier to find someone close by. Just shipping would cost you more than the birds, probably.

Im sorry but $5per straight run chick, and $30 for a dozen eggs is to way expesive for me! (maybe half that price or less is more reasonable for me).

If that is too much money for you, you probably won't be finding any chicks to buy. Most purebred chicks from a breeder will cost you that if not a lot more.

I now that the average price, but im looking for someone willing to sell me it at a lower price. Becouse if not I would just go and buy some at a hatchery! But it is pritty expensive plus the shipping!

 

[ILOVEFRIZZLES]

It is not good for the OP or anyone producing heritage birds, or any birds for that matter to sell them for less than it takes to produce them. Given the price of Marans last year I am sure that the cost of producing chicks far exceeds OP expectations. OP if you are looking for inexpensive birds to have in your coop for some eggs I suggest you head off to your hatchery of choice and do that. If you are thinking about getting into these birds and have some to hatch and ultimately sell it is not good for you to have cheap birds available to you.

A lot of breeders go to a lot of trouble and expense to produce a good product and someone wants them to sell them for under production cost. It doesn't make any sense.

One of the things I have discovered is that if you show a genuine interest in a breed, go to a few shows, and convince a breeder that you might actually do something with some birds, many times they will give a person a great deal. I have given eggs and chicks to folks like that. If folks simply ask me to sell birds for cheap, because they simply want some of my birds, frankly the price goes up.

Ok thank you for your Opinion. But I believe that some people sometimes give away chicks they don't want or can't have. Some people are just nice enough to offer to give you things or sell them for a price that can benifit both you and the seller and those are the people I want to attract to this thread.

Thank you very much for your opinion, but I much rather people to post information if you are willing to help find what I want all along "Marans''.
