how much do you charge for your eggs?

[Jayare's Chicks]

I just started selling mine recently and sell them for $2.00 a dozen. I have people at work that bring me extra egg cartons.
We just went and bought 5 bags of feed yesterday and I used the $12.00 we had in the egg jar to help pay the $47.00 feed bill.
I spend about $40.00 to $50.00 a month for feed so my chicks are now starting to pay for their own feed.

Here I am trying to sell my eggs for $2.00 per dozen and someone runs an ad in the local paper...$1.25 per dozen DELIVERED!!

There are so many chickens around here that folks don't like to part with their $. Chicken feed has gone up but no one wants to pay for their eggs...seems they prefer to pay the higher prices at the store??

I ask for $1.50 for my brown eggs and now i've had a few people asking for white eggs thats why i raised a few leghorn hens and all my eggs sell like hot cakes.. it started off 2 maybe 3 dozen a week and now it's 17+ dozen a week and our girls have been doing great

and were getting more hens next month

Here in NH grocery stores and well-established farm stands are getting $3-4 for "organic"/"free range"/"naturally raised" (pick your own descriptive term) eggs. At the local farmers markets you have to be there by about 9am or they sell out at $3 a dozen or so.

We expect that $2.75 a dozen or more will be no problem even if we sell "wholesale" to the folks who have a stand at the farmer's markets.

I am from Indiana and we sell our eggs for $2.00. Is there anyone else from Indiana that is near me that can give your prices so I can justify raising mine because feed prices are killing us. Plus the girls can't keep up with the customers needs.

I am planning on selling my eggs for $3 per dozen, and most folks around here think that's great, so I have my local feed store who will carry them, he said he will mark them up to $3.50 and has no problem getting that, i am working on getting a small grocery store named Eddie's to carry my eggs

I only have one customer at the moment and she pays me $5, but I (used to) give her half a dozen extra when I had them. Boy, do I have them now!

I'm just outside of L.A.

I live just outside of Lafayette, IN and I just raised mine to $2 a doz. and I have people asking for more eggs than the hens are producing at the moment. (they are just starting to come out of slow-down mode) I only have 28 hens right now and 8 of those are younger and just starting to lay.

People Love those brown eggs!

It's time to get more chicks (as soon as the new hen house is built)

I buy organic brown eggs from the stores for $4.99 dozen, from a neighbor down the road for $3.00 and a co-worker for $2.50. Sometimes the neighbor and co-worker are out and it's back to the store. That's why I bought chicks this summer. Also, no one offers organic white eggs. I am in a rural area of NE Ohio! There aren't many selling eggs around here. I know feed prices are high but can it amount to more than $5 a dozen to produce eggs?

I'm still buying my eggs from farmers and farmers markets at $2.25 or $2.50 a dozen here in east central Ohio. Average large white eggs in the stores run $1.50-$1.80. Organic cage free cost me about $3 at Wal-Mart.
