How much do you sell eggs for?

[11langenkamp_w]

Im selling mine for a $1.50 because everybody else around here has them for $2.00 and up.

$3, $4, $5 and even $6 You've gotta be kidding! I just started selling mine about 3 months ago and I am selling them for $1.50. I sure wish I would've tried $2. It's MUCH easier to lower the price than to raise it! Anyway, I have always been able to sell all I have and actually could sell a lot more so I have about 2 dozen new ones growing right now. There for a while eggs were really high in the store and rising, but my f-i-l said a few weeks ago that they're coming down again. So, he thinks it all balances out and that I'm not doing too bad...

When I do get the guts to raise my price, I will be sure to advertise them more as "free-range" to sorta justify it!

On a good note, I actually did make a profit this past month! It was a small one after the cost of feed, but hey, it's a start right! I was happy!

[EDIT]
I forgot to add... We live in N'rn Wisconsin, and plan on selling ours for $3 per dozen. Our Orps haven't started laying yet, but everybody we tell that we have chickens says they'd be interested in buying eggs.

don't let people compare your home grown, ethically raised, happy-chicken egs with Walmart! Ye Gods!

My daughter works her tail off, her eggs are bright and beautiful and she sells them for $4.00 and has a waiting list of neighbors and friends BEGGING to get in the rotation and onto her weekly delivery list.

They are high in Omega 3s, etc, they are neighborhood raised, the kid is earning her own money, and the neighborhood is the better for it all. That's worth a lot more than Walmart, which underpays its hard working employees, sees to it that competing mom and pop businesses are wiped out, supports sweatshop labor overseas and sells yukky factry farm eggs bred from misery and despair on the part of both workers and hens.

Nuff ranting. Time to go make pancakes. Off work this week!

Respect Your Eggs, my peeps! Charge what they are worth!

they sell "farm fresh" eggs here in texas for $3 a dozen,,,,,im trying to get my kids and friends to give up eating eggs

i wanna be able to sell them for big bucks too!! hehe

I get 4.00 a dozen here in Ohio. The brown eggs at the grocery are going for 3.65 and the shelf is almost always empty. I raised my girls with the thought of giving most to our kids but the kids just don't eat eggs like us older folks. Around here if folks can't nuke food they don't have the time to cook.

At my workplace here in Invercargill, New Zealand, there are four of us who sell eggs.

We all agreed on $4NZ/doz (approx $3.50US)

We all have our own waiting list too, and help each others "customers" out too.

The other two sell a doz each every two days, I sell a 3 doz every two days

that is a great idea! I have seen eggs sell for around $4 a doz as long as it says free range and organic. some people go crazy and think they are all that when they can say they eat organic

I'm selling my eggs for $2/dozen. I have one weekly customer (he has cancer and cannot eat the store-bought eggs because of the hormones), so my "business" is selling eggs.

Scrambled eggs in a dash....
Put a little olive oil in the bottom of a coffee mug and swirl it around. Crack an egg into the cup, add a dash of milk, whip it up with fork and microwave for 1.05

Prices in Ohio are all over the place....
Here, we're surrounded by Amish farms that sell eggs for $1.00 to $1.50/doz. We're still selling our eggs for $2.50/doz. (mixed sizes, white, brown & tinted in each doz). When I was selling our farm eggs in the next county over, I was getting $3/doz.
