what would you pay for a pair of east indie ducks?

If I added up all the money I spent on housing, feed, time, etc.. raising my welsh harlequins and someone offered me $15 each and they had a boat load of ribbons....

I would laugh in their face!!!

I guess that just goes to prove the difference between me and everyone else I guess. If it will help get someone else into a breed, more so a particular variety that is, I will sell my birds as cheap as they can afford. I personally have had GC Bantam Cornish from a gentlemen who's name escapes me now (Lloyd something, from Gainseville, TX). I paid an arm and a leg for a trio. When I sold those birds, after I had hatched a few, I still sold them for far less than what I had in them because it was to a potential showman who wanted them for their FFA project. I look at it from the other side, I will sell myself into more debt from my hobby to get another exhibitor, most especially if it is a 4-H or FFA project. I will never recoop the money I have invested in my birds, and neither will anyone else. But as I have said before, selling a bird for those kind of prices......well anyone who purchases them for that price is nuts!

LOL...well neither would I...but if you can get it...go for it

My way of helping people get in to raising water fowl is to give away hatching eggs. Nothing makes you appreciate a duck like waiting and watching (and worrying) for those little fuzz balls to hatch
