Hi all. Looking for your brilliance.
My partner went a bit bonkers with ordering chicks and last year. Fast forward to now - we are getting about 4-5 dozen a day. We live in the bubs of LA but have a big piece of property in-between two schools (read: a butt-ton of foot traffic), so we are...
Was just wondering if anyone was having the same problem I’ve been having selling eggs.
Ive been selling eggs by the side of the road last year and this year. Last year was going great, selling dozens every week. I have a small container for the customers to put the money in. My sign was...
Finally getting back on here again, it's been awhile. This is really kind of a difficult app to navigate and figure out exactly where to go.
Anyways, good to be back inside the world of chickens! 😁🐥🐓
P.S.
I desperately need ideas for naming my chicken hobby. Small scale, 1 acre, on top...
Hello! I sell eggs outside my house in a little shaded crate. They never stay outside for more than 3 days. I know that chickens collect their eggs for up to 2 weeks at a time before they begin sitting them until they hatch. Since they are shaded, they never receive direct sun (unless in the...
Hi Friends,
i did not thought it would be so hard to sell duck eggs around Charleston, WV! In our first attempt on a farmer's market we barely broke even, just earned the money we'd paid for the table.
I don't want to become stinky rich with duck-eggs, but it would be great if they'd pay the...
Ever since I started raising chickens for Eggs, I have been selling to my co-workers where I work. It started getting to be a chore to find enough customers to buy my abundance of eggs from my flock of about 30 hens. Earlier this spring, the company clamped down on people selling at work (I miss...
Eggs being imported have to be NPIP certified in a lot of places. But there's the import permit as well. Now, I'm wondering is the seller responsible for all that or does the buyer have to have the import permit? Cause I saw that the annual import permit form is for the out of state sellers to...
I retrieve eggs from the chicken coop / duck shack 1x a day. Should I be checking more than this? Once I get the eggs wash them and refrigerate them how long before they expire? (shouldn't be eaten or sold? )
Surprise! I got a couple of unsexed turkens last year and they are both roosters...
I have a few questions about the eggs and consumption of them.
I retrieve eggs from the coop once a day where my chickens and ducks coexist. Should I be retrieving more than 1x a day? From the time I retrieve the eggs wash them and refrigerate them - how long before they are spoiled or not good...
We all like our eggs but what happened when we have more than we can eat? Well we want to sell them of course so! Selling eggs supplements cost of caring for our birds. You may want to get out there right away and start selling right? Well what if I told you that in the United States that there...
We’re finally getting more and more eggs. Most of the birds have finished their molts and are getting back to work. It has been pretty cold for the past week, which is why we have muddy eggs.
It was finally beautiful today so everyone was out free ranging.
I am working on my new poultry house for next season work. your contributions and advise will be sincerely appreciated. Hope this looks god for a 4 years experience farmer.
Do you wash the eggs that you sell? At what point? How do you store the eggs between collection time and sale time? How long is that time period usually?
Did I ask enough questions? haha...
So I don’t have chickens yet but I would like to have around 10-15 Plymouth Rocks to start with but I don’t know how big the coop needs to be. I want to sell all the eggs. Any suggestions please
Just getting the farm up and going, and a customer of mine accused me of selling old chicken and duck eggs. She said that she has bought eggs from me multiple times that have gone bad (although I'm just hearing about this) and that I need to start dating them because I can't keep track of how...
Hey all! I have been on BYC off and on to read the threads but never really thought about signing up until now! I have a few chickens... I have 5 polish (2 are juvenile chicks and unsure of sex as of yet, 2 hens, and one roo) I also have 2 silkies (one is a hen and the other is a juvenile chick...
Sorry if this has been mentioned already.... but last year I was able to sell my eggs to a local bakery, and now they won't take them. Neither will any of the other nearby bakeries. There 's a new rule against it - one place told me it was because of the risk of Salmonella. Salmonella? About...
Hi Folks! We have 14 2yro girls in a VERY large coop and run. Recently we have been able to let them free range for at least part of the day (Yay!) but we are seeing our egg production drop from about 12 - 13 a day, to 10, and now about 8. I know they can find hiding spots but we have not been...
