I have been looking at obtaining some breeding size pieds. I found a group yesterday and as this is a pretty big purchase for me, so I wanted to get some input on if it is a good deal or not.
So here is the info. It is a 1.1 visual pied, and a 0.1 Het pied. The visual pair are both proven, the female is currently 2600 grams, she last produced in 2010 (given 2011 off) and had 8 good eggs. The het pied is currently still growing up and is at about 1000grams. The only downside is that the age of the visuals are both unknown.
I have looked at prices of pieds and it seems they can be all over the place, especially when it comes to the breeder size.
The seller is asking $4000, I am shooting for $3500, so is somewhere between $3500 to $4000 a decent price that I won't soon regret?
