Question:
What would you charge per egg for BCM for local pickup? I have been asking $2 ea, BCM chicks sell for $6-$7 unsexed here, I sell for $6. So, today, I had someone text me asking about chicks or eggs. I told them, and they immediately responded they wanted eggs. I was like, darn, I should have said $3/egg! That just seems high

Unless you have show birds, $3 is way high. $2 is more reasonable

I charge 12/15 straight run for my BCM here in the Portland area. Also 50-60/dz depending on quality of color.

That's kind of why I thought. My BCM eggs on eBay go for an average of $3 ea, and that includes shipping.

I wish I lived here you are! People around here don't want to pay for anything. I had a beautiful naragansett hen last fall that I was trying to sell for $25 for months... I finally give her away for $15 just because my husband was tired of her scratching his truck. She was GORGEOUS.

Man! Turkey hens are like gold around here. I've seen them sell for $35-50.

We're also right outside of Portland I you went to eastern or southern Oregon you might not get that much?
