My husband started selling eggs at his work this winter 6-7 doz a week @ $2 a doz - Great Right? but, according to www.eggzy.net we are selling at a loss . We are raising our price per doz as, we don't think we will loose any sales and have more people that want to buy from us. and I have more chicks ordered, planning to revamp a shed into another coop. I am seeing our CPA tomorrow to find out if he thinks this is a bussness or a hobby for us.
I sell mine for $3 - $3.50 a dozen. My dad pays me $5.00 - but I don't even tell him to pay.. he just does. I think I should at least break even with feed costs alone. If I sold my eggs for $2.50 a dozen, I would have to sell all my eggs (average 7 eggs a day x 7 days = 49 eggs /12 = just over 4 doz. @ 2.50 a dozen = $10.00 a week). That would barely cover my feed costs. I do have chickens that are not yet laying, so yeah.. I would be reporting at a loss.
