Step 3 – Join a Group
The platform puts poultry buyers, sellers, and service providers into different groups. Join a group that is relevant to your profile and what you sell so that it’s easier for customers to find you. See the list of available groups in the section below.
Step 4 – Post an Update when you have chickens in stock

Seller/ Buyer Groups Available on ChickenPrices Zimbabwe
There are several groups on the platform to classify different members from different sectors. You can join more than one group if your operation spans multiple roles.
Poultry Farmers Group
This group is for smallholder and commercial broiler farmers, layer farmers, roadrunner producers, raising chickens for sale. Joining this group makes your profile visible to buyers browsing the farmers directory. The group currently lists major farmer contacts by province across Harare, Bulawayo, Midlands, Masvingo, Mashonaland, Manicaland, and Matabeleland — your listing sits alongside these verified contacts.
Poultry Breeders Group
This where hatcheries and day-old chick suppliers gather. If you sell day-old broiler chicks, layer pullets, roadrunner chicks, or fertile hatching eggs, this is your group. Look up current day-old chick price benchmarks to include in your listing.
Poultry Buyers Group
This section is dedicated to wholesalers, processors, retailers, restaurants, and institutional buyers. If you sell chickens and sometimes source them from other farmers to fulfil orders, you may want to join both Farmers and Buyers groups to reflect both roles.
Veterinary Services Group
Here, you’ll find licensed veterinarians, AGRITEX extension officers, animal health technicians, and feed and vaccine suppliers. Farmers looking for disease advice and vaccination support browse this directory — if you offer these services, this is where buyers find you.
What to Include in Your Listing Profile
A buyer shouldn’t have to send you three messages just to find out where you are and what you charge for your chickens, and whether your birds are live or dressed. So, before you consider your listing complete, check that your profile answers all the critical questions customer usually have. Here’s a quick checklist of what to include in your listings.
- Availability window (days of the week, preferred contact hours)
- Province and nearest town or growth point
- What you produce (broilers, layers, roadrunners, eggs, day-old chicks, etc.)
- Current or typical flock size and production cycle
- Live weight range at sale (for meat birds)
- Egg grade and weekly volume (for layer operators)
- Asking price or price range
- Minimum order quantity
- Payment methods accepted (EcoCash, InnBucks, cash, bank transfer)
- Whether you offer delivery or farm gate collection only
- Direct contact number and WhatsApp availability
Setting Your Price Before Listing the Birds
Avoid blind pricing; it is the most common mistake sellers make when listing chickens for sale. Many sellers either undervalue their birds because they do not know what the market is paying, or set a price too high for any willing buyer.
The Chicken Prices platform offers you price intelligence. If you are selling live broilers, check the price tracke on the homepage. For eggs, view the egg prices weekly tracker for both wholesale and retail prices. You can also have a look at current day-old chick prices if you are listing as a hatchery.
How Buyers Find You on ChickenPrices.co.zw
Understanding how buyers use the platform helps you optimise your profile so that you get more hits faster. As buyers scroll through directories, they look for sellers in their target province. A complete profile with a clear location and product description will be chosen over a sparse one.
Buyers read the blog updates looking for chickens readily available. So, posting an update when you have birds ready makes you visible to active buyers at exactly the right moment. Buyers also use the search for sellers buy name and location using the /search-users/function. By including location and product type, you will appear in these searches.
Professional buyers follow poultry price news and other articles on the Poultry Prices Zimbabwe website as part of their research before they purchase. Each guide contains links that lead to directories where site visitors can view your listings. Articles on egg prices will help layer farmers get noticed, and the day-old chick prices guide puts hatcheries in the spotlight.
Tips for Getting More Enquiries From Your Listing
Update your biographical info regularly
A profile that mentions “available July 2026” in June is more compelling than a static profile with no time reference. Even a minor update signals to buyers that you are an active seller.
Respond fast
If buyers send a WhatsApp or profile message and receive no response within a few hours, they will move on. Fast response time is one of the strongest signals of a reliable seller.
Use specific numbers
“500 birds” beats “large quantity.” “2.3 kg average live weight” beats “good-sized birds.” Be specific to build buyer confidence and reduce negotiation friction.
Join all the relevant groups
A hatchery that only joins the Farmers group will miss buyers browsing the Breeders directory. A layer farmer who also sells point-of-lay pullets should join both Farmers and Breeders. Think about your buyer’s journey and make sure you appear wherever they are searching.
Post when the batch is almost ready, not when the cycle starts
Buyers need birds on specific dates. Post your availability 7 to 10 days before your birds will be ready for collection — not at day-old. Buyers cannot plan with a 35-day wait.
