Since we're on a CL kick....

I'd be rich if I were this person!

If you are going to charge that much for a chicken, at least use proper English!

Maybe they lay the proverbial golden egg...

I don't know where ya'll are, but I live 80 miles north of Houston, Tx and laying hens do sell for $10-$25 here and in Houston. Sooooo... maybe I should quit my job and sell chickens?

Geezzz...how much does a dozen store bought eggs cost!?! I'm afraid to also ask how much a dozed eggs from those chickens cost too!

I saw that and wished I'd ordered more laying pullets....I'd be rich! They are usually $15 here, but that is often for 1.5 year old hens in their first molt in August.

 

[elevan]

Shoot! I can get pullets or laying hens just about anytime for $6-8 each!

Im not far from the area this poster is posting from in CT--sadly, it is not that far off from the norm in this area.

 

[glenolam]

Neither am I, tiffanyh, but there's no way I'd pay $20-$25 for 1 hen. Maybe for 5....

I usually have a bunch of chicks in the spring - I like to incubate since my hens like to play musical nesting boxes. Last year I hatched out over 30 chicks and found homes for all but 3 (they were just too cool of crosses to give up). Let me know if you'd be interested and I'll PM you when I have more next year!
