I think you got a great deal! Straight-run mixed chicks went for $1 each at our local livestock auction last Thursday. More desirable breed chicks, like Copper Marans, $2-$3 each. Those are the lowest prices I’ve seen this year, so the rush is over. Will likely sell cheaper the next couple weeks. Laying hens still averaging $15-$20, roosters $7-$15. More desirable adult birds bringing a couple bucks more. Turkeys and Pea-fowl always bring good money. Guineas $6-$8 for adults, keets (Guinea chicks) $1 each.

Good luck with your score!


I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!

Everything else was crazy...the guineas brought 36.00 average..the ducks brought 35 plus....even the babies..the turkeys were crazy between 180 and 340.00

Hens brought between 26 and 68.00 a piece

Peacock eggs went for 25 to 75 each.

A guy came up to me after and said I made George pay more that. He's the guy that usually bought the roosters. He usually gets the roosters for 3.00 or less.

I bet he's whizzed at me.lol

The auctioneer came and shook my hand after the sale and thanked me.for helping get the prices up.

He didn't get any roosters for less than 9.00
