I'm buying a group of Embden geese as the seller wont split due to wanting a quick sale and they are in need of a new home. I want to sell a few but not sure how much?

They are young (first year of lay) and in pairs.

What should I charge?

i use to sell mine for £50 a pair but have seen them go for £100 each at our local mart.

I think £25 -£30 a goose is fair all day long male or female, but have seen them go for upto £40 each & goslings £5 but their very pricey this year due to a lot of people having bad hatches x

My goslings were sold at £5 each but we were just covering costs really, we had no hatching problems,all raised by parents and uncle/aunty:-)) and they were unsexed, sexed ones would multiply the price several times over.

Older geese would be maybe £30-40 for a Laying goose, £10-20 for a gander, or a pair for £50 ish.

Thank you for the help everyone! Best places to advertise?

here :-))) and local feed stores - horsey and agricultural, also if that doesn't work, local Facebook pages horsey and buy /sell ones, even Gumtree.

However if they are well priced they will sell well, as they are good guard alarms for livestock etc.
