What color/ pattern chicken sells the best

[CHICKENX2005]

Hi just wondering what color chicken is easiest to sell and which one is the most difficult to sell? Just curious because I have a lot of different breeds of chickens and mixed breed chickens. I like hatching and selling chicks and chickens and am curious what colors I should breed for the most.

I don’t think there is a favorite color but white is kind of unpopular. You shouldn’t raise more of one color just because it is popular because you aren’t going to make money selling them anyway. Just raise what you like.

I'm not trying to make money I just enjoy raising chicks and want to make sure people will want the chicks I'm selling so I don't get stuck with a bunch of chickens no one wants.

Bbs, at least in my area.

I've found the certain breeds sell better in my area than overall colors. But for people that don't care about breeds, it's the funkier looking the better.

Whims change rapidly so I wouldn't base a breeding program off of what is popular right now. For a while in my area, Easter Eggers were the thing everyone wanted. Now it's calico Cochins you see a bunch of. I agree with Amer to breed the birds you like best and avoid hatching more than you can keep in case you get stuck with them.

I like friendly chicks. If they're friendly and like being around me, I think they are beautiful, no matter what color/pattern they are.
