I tried selling eggs at work last spring and was told $2 was too much for eggs because the gas station sells them for $1. I said these are fresh and got into a debate about being able to tell the difference. I just may need to give some eggs to the mail lady. She is great.
I posted mine at work for $3, I think that's why it took so long to get the first order. My opinion, that's how much it costs me to feed the layers, I'm not making a profit. Before I "give" the eggs away to people at work, I'd cook the eggs and feed them back to my girls and dogs. Eggs here are $2.25 for two dozen at Costco, but $5 a dozen at the food co-op/health food store. I had one person ask me how much eggs are at the store when I told them my price. My response, "less than that, but you're buying quality". Personally I don't care if I sell them or not. I'd give them away to friends first before lowering the price to customers. Personally I just enjoy my chickens.
You alsmo must report your preferred color and size straight jacket. It's OK we're all wearing them.
I am looking for the poultry yoga poses BTW.
Geesh, I haven't chosen yet. I'll get back with you on the color. But give me large, I'm quite tall and I don't want that little strappy thing that goes front to back to be too tight! 
Not that I would know anything about how a straight-jacket is worn............
Yesterday, I was watching the NYD chicks in their grow-out pen. One chick was lying on it's side, legs stuck straight out. A second chick was lying right next to it, same position, except it had it's wing spread out over the first chick like a blanket. It looked like they were spooning. My first thought, I need them to do that when I have my camera for a yoga picture!

I had to give up my dairy herd (Registered Brown Swiss) in 2011 do to the price of feed and lack of price of milk so I needed something to fill the void. I still have a few cows but not what I did have.
And a partridge in a pear tree!

The difference between breakfast and chicks, is the temperature you use to "cook" the eggs!
What breeds do I have? More than any sane person would own.
