What is a fair price for this pair of Silkies?

[JenEric Farms]

$65 seems to be the going rate for shipping on a pair.

Are you going to sell this pair?

Yes, I think I am going to sell this pair. I was going to keep her for my Lav project with Bren's 2 yr old Lavender Roo, but I want to keep the number of birds I have down to a manageable number. And it's harder to sell a roo without selling a pullet with them. So, I think my best option is to a sell as a pair.

One more question. Which box do I order to ship this pair in? There are so many to choose from.

 

[Elite Silkies]

Anyone??? I do not want to order the wrong size box.

 

[JenEric Farms]

I wish I could help you with this one, but, I've never shipped birds...

 

[Elite Silkies]

Me either, LOL! I guess I'll just call the company and ask them.

Shipping isn't cheap. Depending on the box and the start and end locations $55-$70 seems close to actual costs. You can estimate the weight and go to usps.com to estimate shipping costs--remember that special handling is required (additional fee). Boxes start at about $12-15.

Depending on how small they are you can put them in one single or put one in each. There is also a square box that can house 2 to 4 birds.

Thank you Sonoran.... Can you tell me where I could buy just one box? All I have found has a bundle of 10 boxes.
