It very much depends on the breed and the need of the purchaser.

Roosters are often culled by hatcheries as the value of the male bird is often not worth the money involved to raise it to maturity. Other hatcheries sell their chicks without knowing what sex they are and leave it to the purchaser to deal with, Farmers often raise them to about 10 mths old to sell as meat birds. I have seen cockerels sell for as low as $2.00 and just recently I saw an auction where two Ameracuna roosters sold for $72.00 each.
