How much are you asking for them (ideally a pair)?


What breed are you referring to? By a pair do you mean one male and
one female? (usually they are sold in trios)

Why not singly?

Because nobody has ever asked me for a single cockerel.

Crumbs - we sell quite a number of them for breeding flocks, replacements,
improvements, new ventures, etc. Three went out this week, interestingly
table flocks are becoming more and more popular. And then there are a few
folks want some decent meat and are able to do the deed themselves.
The rest one has to take as an economic loss as the breeder.
I would never force cockerels onto a customer. So few people have the
facilities to keep them and so would have to pay for something they then
have to get despatched. Its an expensive way to buy a hen
Nobody is forcing anything on anyone. They have an option to buy or not. I
offered breeding trios. No problem with that as far as I can see. If someone
wants only females, that's fine too . They don't pay for the cockerel as he
comes free in a trio. I'm glad you can sell your cockerels. I rarely can but
that might be because us here down south are more densely populated than up
there. Most pet chicken wannabees are so afraid of their neighbours that
they won't consider a male.
Makes no difference to me either way as I get to eat the large birds, the
cats,dogs, and ferrets get to eat the bantams, and the less people breed
their own, the more I get to sell :-)
Don't even know why we are having this discussion really.
