heck, I used to sell unhatched eggs for $100 or more each for some of my pheasants....
Good golly! Imagine mistaking those for eating eggs! That'd be one hell of an omlette! :yike: :yike:

Whether it's labs or pigeons or cows or whatever, quality animals cost money if you're looking to buy them. I'm almost afraid to mention I've seen show rabbits sell for $2500.00 before.
:yike:
Just paid that for our cat. ;)

Bare in mind, the coyotes always eat the 900 chicken first, not the 5 dollar one. That probably is the same for cats. Lol. :chuckle:
I can't tell the difference myself, they both taste like chicken to me.

That is no lie! I have rows of pens and birds and on more than one occasion I have had predators pass through the outer pens to get to the expensive ones. Same in above ground pens.....they just know!

I sold a chicken for $900. Well, a pair for 1800.
That's about what KFC charges.

A grand-sire to one of my kid's fancy show rabbits sold at auction for $1150.00
It's crazy what some people will pay for quality animals, but after being involved with these animals a little bit, I get it. Sort of.

Is the price driven at all that its for kids like at a 4H deal, or is that "market" price?
That's kind of a trick question.
My kid shows in 4-H but she also shows in shows that are not 4-H related. Lately she's been showing in open class shows with the adults. She's the youth rep to the American Dutch Rabbit club too. She's working to get more kids involved in the hobby and writes an article in the Dutch club's quarterly magazine. She'll be showing her animals in Reno this October at the national convention...not a 4-H function. It's a little crazy but I'd be hard pressed to find a harder working 11 year old :chuckle:
As far as prices go...$1150.00 is far from the norm. She sells rabbits to 4-h kids for $40-60...the same rabbits would sell to adults for $100 or so. She doesn't really have the reputation built yet to charge more for them and really it's not about the money too much. I paid $150.00 for a rabbit for her 2 years ago from a top national breeder. The most expensive you see the breed she shows is $250.00 or so usually.

If she can train them to lure wild rabbits back to me I'd give her some money for one!

@Rainier10 and @Woodchuck trained this guy. He goes out on his leash and lures them in, then he pounces on them and beats them to death, then retrieves them in his mouth like a lab with a mallard.
