7yo Son's egg business is off the ground!

Thanks all, he's pretty pumped up about this.

Awesome. We're in the same situation. I delivered a dozen for him today, leaving him only 4 eggs in inventory - he hadn't collected yet this AM. My wife is planning to make breakfast burritos this morning (she makes them a batch at a time and freezes them so I can bring them to work), and needs 8 for that. He's got another order for a dozen to be picked up tomorrow afternoon.

Guaranteed fresh, that's for sure! I don't think he's sold any eggs more than 2 days old!

Good thing he doesn't have any more orders to fill until next week (yet), because I don't want to miss out on our traditional big breakfasts on Saturday mornings.

That is really awesome! It is and will be a wonderful experience for him; salesmanship, animal management, responsibility, good clean fun, and so much more!! You're providing a wonderful life for your kid(s).

awesome.
kids need to work for their money and not just have it handed to them.
my son does this too.when we started ,we made one stop at our local beauty salon.we live in a small town and its basically an old lady place.my chickens can't lay enough eggs to fill the orders.we drop off twice a week and the customers pick up with their weekly hair appt.the best part is sometimes the little old ladies pay us with homemade cakes from our eggs.OMG.
