how much do you charge for your eggs?

[Silly Chickens]

We sell them for 1.50 a dozen.

Definitely depends on the market.
Where I live, organic, free range, flax fed eggs sell at the A&P for $3.99 per dozen. When I asked for $3 for mine, one of my coworkers blanched and excused himself, the rest thought that was very fair. One person told me I should charge $4 or $5.
I am happy with $3

Hi there, we usually charge people $2,50 a dozen, and we get quite a lot of customers regularly buying them, so I guess people can’t be too unhappy with those prices, though the bargain thing is a really good idea, I might ask my wife what she thinks of offering two dozen for $4… we’d have to see how profitable that would be or how much we’d lose. But thanks for the idea!

I sell mine for $3

Y'know...I was charging 2 dollars per dozen and I see an ad in the paper where the Amish are selling theirs for .75

I cannot compete with that nor do I want to. The price of feed keeps going up.

.75 cents wow it is almost cheaper to go to them and not have chicks

I'm thinking of selling some, being we're hip-deep in eggs now.
I would say $1.50-$1.75/dozen would be fair, based on what the stores are charging.

We've been giving them away so far, which feels good too.

I just have such a hard time parting with my beautiful eggs.. haven't sold a one yet! (We're eating a whole lotta eggs at my house)

Great thread. Thanks.

I've been debating the same thing.

So nice to hear everyone's opinion!!!

I ask $3 a dozen for mine and sell as many as my girls can lay (and we don't eat). People around here think that's a bargain. At the farmer's market they're going for $4 and up.
