I sell mine for $3.00/doz. I know some people in my area who get $4.00 but "out in the country" they only get $1.50. I have large to extra large brown eggs and after I give my mother the largest ones and we keep some, my aunt sells them at her job. Like the other posters, it just depends on...
We got 4 today from our Red Sex Links. There were some weeks when we would only get 3. Today we found out why, there was a hole in the bottom of the pen and the eggs fell out then got covered up when the girls kicked straw out of their coop. The dogs enjoyed the eggs!
