Hello Farmgirl Friends !

I was wondering if any one could give me any advice on selling baby chickens. I am not sure how much to sell them for and if I increase the price the longer I keep them. Love to hear some tips and what to do's and not to do's. Hope to hear from some gals. Thanks so much. Nicki

We purchased 100 meat chickens last late summer from the catalog. We ran an ad in the online newspaper, it is free. We add .50 on to each chick and sell them the 1st day after they arrive. It is less then the feed store and helps defray the cost of the birds we keep.
