All you egg sellers out there!!! LOOK HERE!!!!

It all depends on where you are located and what you are comfortable with. If the market will bear it and you have a waiting list, fine. Cost is a factor, you could add up the cost of a month's worth of feed, and figure out how many eggs you get etc. The cost of your labor would be huge, but if you are doing it because you enjoy it, that puts a slightly different spin on it too.

Go with what you're comfortable with. Here in Ohio, things are a little cheaper, and for me it's $2 for most, free to family though I keep finding stray $5 bills on the counter!!! In a small town like I live in, people would soon hear if I was hiking my prices for some but not others.

If you can keep things seperate and your feed costs dictate it, do what you need to do is my best advice.

I am selling mine right now for 4 dollars a dozen at a friends farm... she said her costomrrs are happy to pay that for fresh eggs.. even the "organic" ones at the store dont compare to farm fresh eggs. regardless of wether mine are "organic" mine are still better than any store egg in my oppinion!

$3.00 is what I sell for.

My gals just started laying, so I was buying eggs up until 3 weeks ago.

I

the woman at the farmers market who sells her nice eggs for $3 a dozen. Some other farmers at the market sell theirs for $4 a dozen, and the eggs are not as good.

Get your customers hooked on good eggs, and if feed prices keep going up, adjust your prices accordingly, but slowly.

i am selling mine for $2 but my sales have dropped, i was thinking of lowering price but i hate to do it until i can get my sales back up. I put up a flyer at work and i have also advertised on craigslist. I am sure i wont get too much off that but it was free. I also just started in our local pennysaver which is also free. I just think as good as we all think our eggs are $4 is too much unless they are organic and cage free. how long do you think you can keep that customer is the question. just like rent keep it low enough to keep that good tenant and you have that steady income.

Walmart here sells organic free range eggs here (in a plastic carton vs paper or foam...really stands out from the rest) for 4.something for a dozen. I can get a dozen from my farmers market for 3.50. I will sell mine for probably the same as farmers market. Or somewhere around that.

I was getting 1.25 a doz, then when I raised it to 1.50 a doz, I lost buyers, they thought that was too much. Im getting 1.50 now. I wish I could get 3.00 a doz...............

Where at in Northeast Ohio? I'm in Bath Township......(west akron). I'm debating on $3.50 - $4.00 this year for my eggs.

I think it depends on how many you have to. If you only have 10 dozen a week to sell you could get $4.00, I'm sure even in small towns you can get 10 customers to pay that much.

I have to unload 1,000 dozen a month. I'm in a good area, but I still havn't figured out if I can get $4.00 yet. I'm new to the are myself, so I'm not sure what the market will hold. Time will tell as I have the first batch of 250 started pullets coming in on March 10 th. I will post then on how it goes.

We had a lady selling hers at the Farmer's Market this past summer for $5.00 a dz

, People were lined up at the back of her truck and seemed happy to pay that. The usual price in my area is $2.00 dz to $2.50 a dz. If my neighbor needs more eggs to fill her orders she calls me and she pays $3.00 dz., but she is selling in Portland Oregon where she charges a higher price and she delivers.

I sell my extras to co-workers of my parents for a $1.50. If I was getting more eggs regularly I could get up to about $4.00 a dozen. At the farmer's market I have seen places selling them for $5.00 a dozen and get sold out in 45 minutes!
