How do you sell your eggs?

[TenderDefender]

I’ve been selling my eggs recently. $3 /doz and i’ve been posting on my town/local facebook page, first come first serve, I’ve been doing pretty good so far. But because of the current amount of eggs i’m getting (which will change in the coming months) I kind of have a waitlist. I’m thinking about going through the waitlist, which isn’t that many people, and then continue posting first come first serve.
So i’m wondering what the other options for selling eggs are? I don’t want to do a stand. I was thinking maybe just a cooler on my porch, with a lock box they can put the money in. But then i worry about not honest people.

Let me know!

I wouldn’t know bought 5 chicks last summer and all turned out to be roosters ….

I've been selling 4 dozen to a friend for a year [email protected]. I give lots away to family close friends and now I have close friend that buys them at 4.00 oer dozen and waits for me to let her know I have them. I have 11 hens and I do feed eggs back to them too.

$5 per dozen, and my 14 girls can hardly keep up with demand. These are all sold to people I personally know. Sometimes they are sold before they're laid. Keeps the feed bill paid.

$3 per dozen, crazy demand lately. First come first serve. Usually have a waiting list, sometimes 3-4 days. Selling as fast as they can lay 'em. Probably 7 to 10 dozen a week. The deal I have worked out with my hens is that they have to sell enough eggs to pay for their feed. So far, super exceeding. Nobody has gone hungry yet. LOL

HAHA same over here. My slacker finally started laying again so anywhere from 4-5 eggs a day here. I’ve only have 1 repeat customer, but that’s fine with me because she’s so nice. Once i add more chickens i’ll have more eggs. And if i do have a dozen to spare i’ll post hahaha

Same, 5 per and I’m basically pulling the eggs out to finish cartons over here

My wife stocks about 3-4 dozen in the breakroom refrigerator at her workplace every Monday. They just disappear eventually.

And every once in a while a $10 or $20 bill or a $25 or $50 Tractor Supply Co. or CAL Ranch gift card shows up on her work station desk.

The co-workers understand.

MY Facebook wont allow me to post farm fresh eggs.
It says the post violates facebook rules and is prohibited
What am I doing wrong?

You have to trick Facebook. Swap letters for numbers in the listing. It will bypass the automated filter. For example: “Pre filled 3gg cartons” and no pictures of the actual eggs.
