How Much Do You Sale Or Trade Eggs For????

[FrancesR]

I sell our eggs at our public market on Saturdays here in Hawi, North Kohala, Hawaii. Fresh, local, non-organic eggs sell for $5.00 per dozen. (Organics sell for $8.00 per dozen) Since we live in the middle of the ocean, our feed has to be shipped here from the mainland. Mainland eggs sell at the grocery stores for $2 to $3 per dozen and they aren't fresh. The closest local egg farms are either on Maui or Oahu and still have to be shipped here to Hawaii Island, so locally produced eggs are highly valued. I always run out of eggs. We are building our third coop to keep up the the demand.

South Central Iowa here, $2.00 per dozen...Brown, non-organic, free-range. I have seen others at local markets get $2.50, but only after mine are all sold out, LOL. Unfortunately, I have am not a good flock manager, and have a lot of slackers that don't lay. Makes it a very unprofitable business.

Back when I had a larger flock I was getting $2.00 from a lady that did catering. She quit catering for a while and the hens started slowing down, time to start a new flock and thin out the old girls. We had surplus eggs for a while so we reduced our price to $1.50. Practically giving them away, but our flock is much smaller now so we don't usually have many to spare. People are lining up to get eggs now... To top it off that lady now want to buy eggs again. We may have to up our price as these are real eggs, not store bought.

I usually buzz through Whole Foods but stopped to look at the loose eggs they sell in the produce section of my store. They had goose eggs, duck eggs and even emu eggs which are beautiful.

The free range, organic eggs were going for 50 cents each. That's $6 a dozen.

I was planning on giving away my extras but that got me thinking. But I really like the idea of trading for other goods. Would love to trade for local honey.

I sell mine $15 plus shipping. I sell them for hatching eggs. What I don't sell I hatch and sell the chicks, what we don't hatch, we eat, and what we don't eat, we give away. I have sold several dozen for eating for $2 a dozen in the last several years that I have had chickens. Usually, we don't have THAT many to bother with marketting for eating eggs.

This is what I want to do also. I always pass someone sitting on the side of the road selling local honey, I want to stop and ask if they'd like to trade for eggs.

We were selling ours for $2 a dozen before we lost 3/4 of our girls. We sold to friends and one person from craigslist that my sister was selling to, then we bought her chickens and her buyer. lol. Now we only supply him with eggs since we are down to only a few chickens.

I only sell to one lady, she pays me 5$ a dozen once or twice a week.. She was buying organic eggs at the fresh market for 5$.. Then she found out I had hens and asked if I could provide them for her.. I said sure, told her they were 3$ a doz...she refused to give me only three dollars because she loves them and doesn't want to have to go back to store eggs..
