What age should you sell baby chicks?

I hatched some chicks with the intension of selling them, but am not sure what age I should sell them. Is it okay to sell chicks that are under 4 days old?

Yep. People do it all of the time. Just be smart and don't chill them or anything.

You can. Around here older chicks sell for a little more to offset the cost of keeping them.

For the first few days, chicks feed off of where they hatched from. They probably still have a good amount of yolk and nutrients in their bodies. Just be sure that they have bedding so that they can be comfy.

I sell my chicks at a week old so I can monitor them for any potential trouble before selling.
