How much should I charge for adult button quail?

I know it can vary off of sex and variety, but in general, how much can I charge for an adult button quail?

The price can vary a lot. It depends on where you are, how many people are interested in them, etc.

The first thing you want to do is take a look around. Check craigslist, NextDoor, etc., to see if you can find any for sale near you. That will give you a ballpark figure. If there aren't any available near you, you want to think about the area you live in. Do a lot of wealthy people live in your area? Is the area mainly middle class? Is it lower income?

Think about how much they cost you to raise. How much electricity did you use incubating them and keeping them warm in the brooder? How much have you spent on feed? Did you need to buy any medications or supplements such as NutriDrench? Once you know how much you spent, calculate in some profit, and you'll have an idea of what a fair price to charge is as well.

When I lived in SuperExpensiveLand, they went for about $15 each. Where I am now, I think I might get $10.

With everything having gone up, due to inflation....I'd charge $20/bird or $50/pair. You might also check with local pet shops, they sometimes will buy birds from individuals.

I was thinking that things have gone up an awful lot in the last couple of years. I'm still trying to figure out pricing of stuff too.

How much should I charge for 3-4 week old buttons?

I'd suggest checking your local CraigsList to see if anyone else is selling buttons and see what they're asking. Also take into consideration how much you've spent on feed and care for the time you've had the birds. I'm in the Dallas area and the only listing for buttons near here is asking $3/bird for 2 week old birds. Based on previous comments by @Nabiki and @007Sean in this thread, that's probably not a good example.
