I sell Buff orpington chicks at £5 from Day old - 10 weeks, £15 from 10 weeks - POL, then £20 at POL

I sell all pure breed cockerels for £5 each.

Hope that helps!

I usually use the £1 per week plus £2 rule, so 12 week olds would be £14
I also sell pure breed cockerels at £5 each, if I can.

I would love to get hold of buff orp 9week old chicks for £5 each - I'd snap your hand off at that price!!

I also think the price you can get will depend where you are, it can be a struggle round here to get people to buy anything other than hybrids at £8 each :o

Sorry - I add £1 per week too - I wouldn't let a 9 week old go for a fiver either! - 9 weeks is £9, unless 100% obviously a cockerel. As soon as they are sexed, pullets go for £15, cockerels for £5, then £20 at POL.
