How much should I charge for non-hatching EE eggs? Are there different prices for different colors?

You mean just for eating? I don't charge different for different colors, but I do think having the variety of colors helps get customers.

Well, you could probably coerce/create/cajole a market that would pay a premium price for colored eating eggs........

.......I don't think it would be very ethical to do so, but that's just my opinion........

.......it's a free country and there's sucker born every minute and someone standing by waiting to take advantage of them.

I'm not talking about a professional thing I just o along seeing who wants some eggs in my neighborhood and I wondered how much I should charge.

Price of eating eggs in general is depends on many variables from your goals and resources to the local market.

Here's one thread on the subject.

No. Would you pay more for a coloured egg for eating? Just charge whatever other people in your area charge, some people have signs out the front of there house with a price.

You can charge a bit more if they are free-range and/or organic, that is what people are willing to pay for. In my area the price for a dozen free-range eggs is about $4 - $5

You can buy green or blue eggs but if the rooster is not an EE your chances drop dramatically.

Wow! So, the male carries the dominant colour genes?

Also, if you’re only supposed to breed purebreds, then how do we end up with so many “purebreds” that come from other breeds?? The EE is a PRIME example of that scenario. Doesn’t something go really wrong when you breed 2 cross breeds?

This info is still good to know -regardless of antiquity and I appreciate it still being accessible to me!
