I live in NW Florida and I sell mine for $3.50 per dozen or $5 for a dozen and a half. I have 31 hens and I get between 18 and 28 eggs a day. I simply load up all my extras and take them to work with me. I also take them to the chiropractor's office, the doctor's office and elsewhere. There are always folks who want fresh eggs and I've never had any trouble selling them. The folks at my regular stops also return the cartons to me and I give them a small discount after they've done that a few times. Feed is expensive here - about $14 for a 50 pound bag of laying crumbles.

Mine is the "store brand". If I bought name brand, it would be about that much for me too!

That's great! I let mine out to free range about 3 or 4 days a week, so they supplement their diet with greens, bugs, etc along with their feed. It's cheaper that way too!

I let mine free range every day except for when we go somewhere and then they are in the run that is over 30 feet long and 11 feet wide so they have plenty of space all the time just watch that spring grass it don't break as easily and can get caught in there crop and then they try to drink a bunch of water to free it them selves and then it makes thing worse and then they have to have surgery to remove it or it can become sour crop

I sell mine for $5 a dozen. Their organic feed is $35 for 40#. I'm on the central coast of California.

It's unlawful to tax human food, medicine and livestock feed.

Basic necessities can't be taxed.

While I might agree with you, the state legislature where I live doesn't see it that way.

Livestock feed is taxed here unless you get a tax number or some such from the state and use that number at time of purchase to not pay tax on farm related products.
