As should be expected after a decade of GMing, I received an unexpected question from one of my players last week that I could not solidly answer.

What is the market rate for your average egg laying hen?
Apparently this trivia is a thing with one of this player's friends, who scales RPG economies on the relative value of a chicken.

Back in the PF1 Ultimate Equipment days the answer would have been 1gp, but the restructuring of the economy to be backed by silver instead of gold means those prices are obsolete.

My gut says they'd be worth around 1 sp, but that silver goes much further than it used to. 1 sp gets you a whole Explorer's Outfit, but back in PF1 you'd need 100sp to get one!

Thoughts? Maybe they'll have some prices for stuff in Absalom, City of Lost Omens but I'd hoped to answer such a seemingly simple question before then.

Well, on p. 295 of the Core Rulebook they list the prices of a number of animals. 'Guard Dog' is 2 SP, and I can't imagine a hen being more than that, or even as much, but it's probably not an order of magnitude more either. So I'd call them 1 SP, or maybe 5 CP. Somewhere in that range anyway.

Cattle would probably fall under 'Draft Animal' at 2 GP a piece. Mid-size animals like goats or pigs would be less than that but more than a hen.
