"If I can't buy females only, then I'll just go buy from a box store or commercial hatchery"

Well, That's definitely your decision, but there's a reason most breeders don't offer female day old chicks or ducklings

Most breeders do not s*x their day old poultry.

Breeders cannot compete with commercial hatcheries on price. Most breeders do not have contracts with thousands of stores.

Breeders do not kill all of their males to supply only females. It usually takes the profit from selling the female to feed the male that they are left with.
When breeding, a good male is just as important as females. They are not a byproduct to breeders.

Breeders pay retail for feed, electricity and water just like their customers

A breeder cannot break even selling only 50% of what they produce (females)

Most of the times breeders have better quality and that's why the price is higher.

Breeders breed for the love of the breed, not for mass production and profit.

Expecting a breeder to be as cheap as a commercial operation isn't logical.

So yes, when you come back at a breeder complaining about price, it really hits hard because we are already struggling, and most of the time using our 9-5 to fund our love of poultry.

If the price is too expensive for you, please think about your response.

It's ok to just say Thank you and move along.

Devaluing someone's hard work with price is usually taken as a personal attack.

Purchase price is just the beginning. Quality isn't cheap

Be kind ❤️
