Best Chicken Breeds to Breed for Selling?

[GlicksChicks]

I agree with what some are saying in that its what you want. But I would also suggest looking at your area. It really depends on the market. And can fluctuate from year to year. In my area Siklie's are very popular. Also rare breeds like French Black Copper Maran's, Speckled Sussex, specifically Lavendar Orpington's (not Buff though), Ayam Cemani's (and Zombie Chicken's) sell for very crazy prices at an auction that I go to. I also compared prices for hatcheries and even those sell chick's very high. Highest I have seen is $30 for a day old chick. Legbars, Buff Orpington's, ISA Browns, Rhode Island Red, Americauna's sell for next to nothing and are found at every farm store here. Usually those are anywhere from $3-$5. Definitely look at your area. Personally I sort of met in the middle. I found a breed that I really wanted as well as one that wasn't sky high to break the bank. I also went with a smaller hatchery. Even though it was a smaller hatchery, I also knew I was taking a risk. For my rare breed I have Swedish Flower Hens. Love the coloring and size. I also have a few more rare breeds on my "WANT" list for my area, not necessarily rare to the U.S., such as Buckeye's. But that reason is more of they are good foragers, layers and a dual purpose breed. Best of luck!

The breeds I am currently planning on are:
-Frost White Legbars (already have a trio, trying to get more)
-Silkies (raising some up to be a flock for next year
-Polish (some starting to hatch this weekend to be a breeding flock next year)
-Possibly Brahmas (I have been asked about them by buyers)

Gamefowl or maybe try getting some Greenfire birds. You can't go wrong with game.

True Onagadori or Phoenix? I wasnt aware that true ones were in the US. Of course satsumadori got here a couple years too late for me. Also the India parrot beak asil is here

Can you point a brother to some Parrot beaks or long tails?

Parrot beak asils are in Virginia owned by a YouTube guy named top quality aseels also known as asil aseel. Now whether he has any to sell or if you can afford them, best talk to him.
