how much do you charge for your eggs?

[lewisfarmgurl]

I haven't got my chickens yet but love the education I'm getting while I wait. I am curious about the duck eggs and if there is a difference in taste to a chicken egg. Nobody near me has ducks for me to try, could someone comment real quick about the taste.

Eggs around here are 3.50 a dozen for fresh farm eggs that I buy.

......thanks...mona

we had a duck and she laid me a beautiful egg every other day...the taste is much richer tasting than a chicken egg...very good actually!!

duck eggs have a certain... oily-ness? they're spectacular for baking and some people really enjoy that heavy richness served like chicken eggs.

I wouldn't bake with anything else but duck eggs, yum!

A local man here sells his eggs $1.75 dozen....(I have hatched out chicks from his eggs!)

I never noticed a difference between the taste of my duck's egg and my chicken's eggs. Maybe my taste are simply too underdeveloped. They both just tasted like eggs to me.

I sell Lowes motor speedway 30 doz a week and get $ 3.50 Per doz and most of the time I get 9.00 a flat.

5.83/doz is what we are able to get here in Dillingham, AK

But then, feed is ~15/bag + ~14/per bag in shipping.
That's not much more than the local stores charge for brown eggs, and they are about 2,000 miles fresher.

I don't sell mine yet. I will start this fall when I start laying. I am thinking I will sell them for $2.50 a dozen. That's a deal since here you would pay almost $3.00 a dozen for commercial caged chicken eggs.
