My 7 yr. old son is selling them for $1.50 a dozen. Maybe he needs to raise his prices. I'm sure that he'll be happy to raise his prices, because when he first started selling them I asked him what he thought he should sell them for and he said ummm..... a dollar a piece?

Generally you can figure on asking about double the price of what's at the grocery, regular white eggs from the cooler. Build up a customer base of folks, neighbors, church and work and see if they will buy a dozen every week or two. You can also post on the bulletin boards that might be in the store entrances. Some folks may want to buy some eggs in bulk to do specialty baking, wedding cakes and such.

How many eggs do you take a day or in a week? This time of year they really do get busy. If you have enough people that appreciate fresh eggs for breakfast or baking then you will be in business.

.. free or a buck a dozen here... they are worth way more but I've never changed... around here the yuppies and vegetarians will pay TONS for TRULY free range eggs. We figure we spend at LEAST 12 bucks a dozen so we lose no matter what. Pretty soon all our birds will be gone though We are letting them die off with Old Age... but sadly a fox has decided to join our farm... so far he's killed five hens and my second to last rooster.... I'm sick over it....we've had NO problem for Years... yotes, foxes etc... have all spared our birds TILL... they got into a neighbors coop and found it EASY to kill all their young birds... Our birds did not go easy... I'm hoping the rooster stuck his 3" spurs deep as he went since I'm VERY mad at the scrawny old fox... VERY.... Now we only have 14 hens and 1 rooster... had 99 at one point...
The end of an era... and I know we could spend less and charge more BUT... I can't do the physical work any more so they are going..... We will have to...GULP... BUY eggs! Will miss our blue, green, olive green, pink, white and brown "rainbow" eggs! I'll miss the friends we made over the yrs selling, giving , trading and hatching!

HappyGathering, boiling, frying, scrambling and selling!

LOL... Heather

I sold eggs in 1959 for $.75 a dozen. Dad said I wasn't making any money but since I cut 3/4 acre lots with a push lawnmower for $1.00 I figured it was easy money.

Last fall we decided to get rid of our old layers, leave the barn empty for the winter, and get new ones this spring. Of course, we had to buy eggs through the winter, and the first time my granddaughter was over, she said 'Oh! White eggs! I've never had a white egg - I wonder what they taste like?'
She had to actually try one before she'd believe that they were the same as the brown ones she'd always had!

PS. If you call your eggs 'organic', 'free range' or 'natural', you can charge twice as much for them!

yup, I free range them, most of the time the coop door is always open, but sometimes the wife locks them up when she finds a big splat of poop on her new concrete drive. right now we are down to about 20 birds, butchered about 20 last fall and gave another 25 to my sister that she fed to her dog one day( not by choice) but I have about 10 in the brooder right now, along with some pheasants, with about 30 more to hatch in the incubater tomorrow

Not to hi-jack the thread, but was wondering how hard it is to raise them or other birds? I'm a city-raised NYer now living outside of Huntsville, AL on 4+ acres. (Love it, I'm not leaving here until I'm carried out of this house toes first!) The house came with an (empty) coop building. Best to buy adult birds, hatch your own, which breeds, where to get them, will they cut down the tick population, how do they survive the winter weather, etc.? Not necessarily looking to make money, but to have eggs/share with friends. Also, can they transmit disease to the dogs?

Priviate replies are fine; like I said I didn't mean to hi-jack the thread.
