I am entering a pen of 3 meat chickens at the fair....how much is average they sell for?

Question

How much could I get for them if they do not place?

Answer 1

Meat chickens?

You mean you're selling them so they can be killed and cut up?

That would make you one cold individual.

Or are you talking about something else?

Answer 2

Well, chicken in the store is around 79 cents a pound for the dressed bird, the person buying live birds would pay about half that because they still have to butcher and process then deliver the meat to the stores.  You'd get less than 30 cents a pound.

Not very much, when it comes down to it.
