I bought 30 cockerels, all dual purpose but all good meat breeds. Many family and friends are requesting to buy a couple. I know there are laws, so I’m selling live and offering free processing before delivery. I need help figuring out pricing. If I just broke even, I’d be happy. We will be butchering all @ 16 weeks.
Chick + tax/shipping: $1.33/ea
Shrink wrap bags/labels: $1.30/ea
Processing: Free
Feed: $13.99/50 lbs (I don’t feed throughout the night past 1 month, unless I should since they’re intended for meat?)
I won’t include electricity, bedding, or supplies because their brooder is in the chicken coop and I get my bedding free from our dairy farm. Thanks!
