Hens & Poultry — common questions

How do I check if the birds are healthy before buying?
Look for bright eyes, clean feathers, active movement, and no signs of discharge or coughing. Ask the seller for vaccination records and recent weight data if available.
Can I buy day-old chicks online?
Yes, many sellers offer day-old chicks, but always confirm the hatchery’s reputation and ask for health guarantees before paying.
What is the average price for a live hen in Pakistan?
Local breeds like Desi hens cost PKR 500–1,500 per bird, while imported breeds like Rhode Island Red can go up to PKR 3,000 depending on age and laying capacity.
Do sellers provide delivery for poultry?
Some sellers offer delivery within the city for an extra fee, but most require pickup. Always clarify delivery terms and costs before agreeing to a sale.
How can I avoid scams when buying poultry online?
Never pay in full before seeing the birds in person. Use cash on delivery or meet at a public place. Check seller ratings and reviews if available on the platform.
