What should I ask for this fella?

[Riocotesei]

I have a 8 month old RIR roo and, I don't like how rough he is with the ladys. So... I want to sell him. What should I ask for him?

 

[DTchickens]

5-10 dollars? maybe 15-20

 

[Kanchii]

Like... $15

Maybe things are different where you live but here, I am always happy when I can find a good home for one of my extra roos....free.

 

[Msbear]

yeah, we used to (I would never do this now with my babies sneak up on other peoples farms in the middle of the night and leave them a rooster present to wake up to. hahahhaahah

We hatched like 70% roos when I was growing up.

 

[Riocotesei]

I don't have the money to just give them away.

$15 is what I was guessing. Thanks for the replies.
Of the 7 Leghorns I just hatched I can tell 4 of them are roo's

I'll probably grow them out and sell or trade 'em.

selling is great... then you get money for feed. and supplies etc. for your other chickens. you can give them away if thats what floats your boat.. but i myself Sell the ones i dont use (plus.. my chickens are show chickens. if i was to give one away with the bloodline i have.. i'd be giving away 100-200+ dollar chickens

) so i usually sell for about 50-100

i ended up having to give my 2 roos for free. I was asking $5, held out a few weeks hoping to get something for them till someone fought with the dominate roo and injured him then they had to go.

I've been to a couple of poultry/small animal livestocks. If someone is looking for new blood for breeding, and it is a common breed like a RIR, and they are interested in the particular breed you have for sale you might get $10.

I've seen chickens that have won a prize at the fair sell for $30, so DT Chickens must be one heck of a salesperson.
