Butler Couples?

[Flying Bob]

What might a pair of 12 week old Butler Bobs go for? thanx!

  They might go for whatever you can get.

  I suppose it also depends on location, but I would think $3-$4  per bird, at that age would be good.  A little less, in quantities.  Add time consumed in caring for them.  Cost of shipping box.  You have to figure your time getting them ready to ship, or even to catch them, and put them in the buyer's cage, or box.  A dollar per mile, to the shipping facility.  These added costs will probably be more than the value of the bird.   

  Are you beginning to see why a lot of producers don't sell small numbers of birds?

  I don't know if there is such a thing as a "show quality" Butler, but, I suppose, that would increase the value.  If they are to be "pets" they may be worth a little more to the buyer.

  I guess we're back to my first sentence, huh?

At 12 wks...4$ perbird at 16 wks 5$ per bird. after that they are eating up your profit..unless you are going to sell eggs from them next breeding season. I have sold some breeders for 14$ per pair..but we are talking about some nice big birds...
