Need advice...I'm a newbie. I have been buying NPIP/AI registered hatching Silkie chicken eggs. The hatch rate is about 50% and the eggs are between $65-$100 for 12+ the breeders usually send a couple extra because the shipping is rough on them. I am having people ask to buy my chicks and pullets, but I do not know what to charge.
I need the older ones because they just started laying and I want to start selling the eggs. The two that are laying are white 2 showgirls are the hens and the rest roosters. Getting 2 a day! yay And I have two Tolbunt got lucky a hen and rooster and getting one a day from them.
On the Silkies I have lavender, white, black, different color mottled (couple frizzle), chocolate, grey, paint, buff, red buff, partridge, porcelain, splash, and blue. So I have lots of colors but I dont know what to charge. Also I have the polish tolbunt frizzle and I know those are expensive eggs so I want to sell those. Im in Colorado and at Murcocks they charge 25 a laying hen....Thanks for any help.
