How these are compared
Each row compares one bird sold the same way at two or more hatcheries: sexed pullets against sexed pullets, straight run against straight run. Prices are per bird, taken from the cheapest listing a buyer can actually complete a purchase on, and read from each hatchery's own catalogue on October 11, 2026.
Started pullets are left out. One hatchery lists a started Rhode Island Red at $276 where two others list $35, and nothing in its catalogue says whether that price is for one bird or a crate of them. A difference that might only be a unit mismatch is not a fact worth publishing, so the category is excluded rather than guessed at.
A cheaper bird is not automatically a cheaper order. Minimum order sizes and shipping differ by hatchery; both are on the minimum order page.
