What is an appropriate price for chickens?

[I_Heart_Chickens]

I have many big healthy sex-link chicks that I have raised since they were one day old. I plan on selling several of them at 16 weeks old.

I have fed mainly organic feed and I have no idea what I should set as an asking price. 10.00? 15.00?

any suggestions would be very helpful.
Thanks!

my local feed store sells the sex-links for $7.00 at 20 weeks. they go up a dollar as they get older, week by week. So my guess would be 4/5.00 at 16 weeks. hope this helps.

I think a lot depends on where you live and demand for them. Point of lay pullets here go for between $10-$20 per bird. Many folks will pay for not having to raise them up from chicks.

It really does depend on your locale. The feedstore here sells pullets at point of lay for $20 each, sometimes more if the owner decides they are rare, LOL.

Recently, she had a trio of Russian Orloffs and was asking $100 for the three. For a trio of Cochins, she wanted $50.

Thanks for all the responses everyone!
I think I will do $15 each or 3 for $40. I am sure they will sell for that price in my community. If not I can always lower the price some if I need to.
