I wouldn't worry too much about the tire kickers. You'll get them all over the place. Remember most of us got chickens for cheap eggs....what a joke in the long run! Most people do not see the value in the adult hens.
This is a really bad time of year to sell. Around here people are lucky to get about $10 a hen. I mean heck I got some really nice polish hens for $5 each locally recently. Its a hard time of year to sell. I've found summer to be the best time to sell chickens to get a good price.
Normally around me laying hens sell for $10-20 each. If you're trying to keep a flock of that size together you're going to be looking for a needle in a haystack person to have that kind of space and want that many so you'd probably need to cut a good deal for them.
If they're offering too low just say no thank you and move on
