Just thought I'd share with you guys what you can earn from a local livestock auction on quail.
Quail eggs went for $9 a dozen (fertile).
The day old chicks went for $2-3/ea.
Adult birds went for $2-4 each.
As usual the price depends upon how early you put your birds/eggs in, it's first drop off, first auctioned the day of the auction. They keep brooders for chicks. Also the weather really impacts the number of people, prices were way down and hardly anyone stayed to the end last weekend, it was raining and super cold. Great way to get bargains if you're shopping.
I sold a rooster for $14. I thought that was crazy since people are trying to give the things away most of the time.
Auction here takes 20% + $1 if you want them to mail your check.
