I feel like silver laced wyandottes sell well, just hatchery quality seem to do well. As well as blr wyandottes.
I personally raise a lot of bantam ameraucanas and bantam easter eggers. As well as a large fowl project crele ameraucana pen.
My large fowl project birds seem to sell just as well as the pure ameraucanas I raised in the past. My bantam easter eggers sell decent but never get more than $2ea as chicks. The best bantams for laying and selling were my bantam dominiques. Alot of people asked for bantan barred rocks too.
I personally like bantam breeds since they eat about 1/4 as much feed as a large fowl and chicks bring about the same around here. If you have sexed female chicks you can get a little more. That is why I like autosexing like crele or barred birds, since people can go to tsc or a feed store and get sexed pullets for $3-4 each its been hard to compete unless I have something they dont carry or cant be easily bought from online hatcheries. Best of luck!
