How Much Are You Selling Eggs for Right Now?

[WingItRanch]

This completely depends on who you're selling to and where. I sell to my coworkers in the city and no one else lives out in the country like I do. So I have no competition. I was selling for $5 but raised my prices to $6 (which was stillcheaper than the cheapest store prices).

I also have a colorful dozen and the folks in the city will pay extra for that. They didn't blink an eye when I charged $6.

At the bougie farmers markets near the city, they sell closer to $12/dozen for the colorful eggs.

Wow, that's pricey! Where about do you live?
You always need more chickens!
We just got 17 new baby chicks in addition to all of our older girls so I think we'll have a lot to sell. Even got the few birds I was missing to have all egg colors. I can't wait for their eggs this fall!

Middle Tennessee. (Just South of Nashville.).

Just sent my husband down the road with a dozen eggs for our neighbor! We're out in the country but even in the closest towns (30 minutes away) most folks either have chickens or have someone they buy from. Each time I think about charging money for all the eggs I give away to neighbors and friends (not to mention family), I think about all the favors and kindnesses, big and small, they have bestowed upon us and that's that! Free eggs!

I sell them for $7/dozen right now. I do feed my chickens only organic feed so I charge a little more.

3.50 is what I charge, I only have very few cutomers. 1 woman gives me the 3.50 sometimes 4. The other person gives me 5. The other gives me 5 to 7. Couple other nieghbors are elderly like me and I give some eggs here and there.
I also free range, my chickens out all day to do their thing. I am in rural setting, but even before the egg shortage I am asked if I would sell eggs. people by me like the free range fresh eggs.
I am not into selling eggs to make a profit, but 3.50 someplace in there is what I figure a breakeven. I like having my small flock chickens around.

I'm not selling currently. But usually charge $2-$3 per dozen, & $3-$4 per 18 count, & $1 for per half dozen.

I have a long time customer, my half-sisters' aunt (gonna call her my aunt for shortening purposes), that I continue selling them to her for $3/dozen because she consistently buys 5, 6 dozen eggs at a time when I have that many available. New customers are getting my new price at $4/dozen, especially if they're not consistent and only buy a dozen at a time.

I don't mind selling for the lesser price to my aunt especially since she cares for her blind husband AND special needs son, and they go through a half dozen eggs in just a day after breakfast. But a new customer tells me she'd rather pay me $4 a dozen since that's cheaper than the store right now anyway AND she's supporting local.

I'd price to be competitive locally. I'm sure I could go up to $5 a dozen, especially since I've got the pretty Easter eggs, but I'm not quite ready to do that yet.

I am getting questions on fertilized eggs! I do have a pretty rooster, but mine is a ragtag bunch. So are people asking you for hatching eggs? How much a dozen?

Right now where I live, eggs are sold for about 6-7 dollars for a dozen ... We sell ours for 6 dollars.
