So we have one clutch that started with 30 eggs - now down to 27 that all hatched around august 3-5. We are probably going to end up selling most of them but I'm just curious how soon should we sell them? Is there a certain size? weight? number of weeks etc. All 27 seem very healthy, active and are all eating small dusted crickets and dubia roaches. We are very experienced in juvenile/adult beardies but this is out first time breeding so I just don't know how long to keep them as to not stress them out too much when they move. I've heart 8-12 weeks? Any suggestions would be great.

I do not know much about breeding or selling but I recommend to start selling once 3 months old. (You should probaly talk to someone more advanced though, lol)
Waiting for 3 months would be veeeeery expensive, they'd be [ average ] around 10-12" by then and would eat you out of house + home. 
Not to mention they would need to be set up in lots+ lots of enclosures. The 6" mark is when I've always sold mine in the past, they're usually about 4-6 weeks old and are hardy enough to go to a new home.

Shipping is done over night via next day air so if you ship them out late afternoon the babies are at their new homes by 10 a.m in most areas so they spend about 16 hrs. in the box. If you want to wait until they're bigger of course , it's up to you. Maybe 8".
