Some people just like to hatch and they keep pets or even sell everything they hatch. If they don't care about quality they are generally looking for the cheapest eggs they can find.
For hatchery quality pet birds, I suggest that you start at twice the price of eating eggs. Then figure out what it costs you to wrap them up and add that to the cost of shipping.
The people who want show birds are willing to pay considerably more for eggs in order to get the quality of bird and the bloodlines they want. I think the eggs should be priced so that when they hatch, the ducklings have cost less than buying a day old duckling. I figure that not all eggs will hatch, plus the buyer still has the cost of electricity. So I would take the price of a top show potential hatchling and work my way backwards through the expenses in order to come up with a price for the eggs.
Since the price of an exhibition potential chick varies by breed and quality, it's not possible to give a guess at what a generic show bird egg might cost.
