What changes the price of day-old chicks?
- Feed costs. Maize and soya prices drive what breeder farms spend, so chick prices follow them.
- Imported vs local hatch. Imported chicks carry airfreight, permits and clearing, so they cost more than chicks hatched in Kasoa.
- Season. Demand peaks before Christmas, Easter and Eid. Book four to six weeks ahead for festive batches.
- Quantity. Orders of 1,000 chicks or more can get a better price. Ask us.
- Delivery. Charged separately by town and box count, always quoted before you pay.
