How much do you sell your eggs for?

[MAchicken105]

I know I’ve read several of these threads before, but they were quite old.

So just a general question, how much do you sell your eggs for per dozen?

I’m just trying to get a feel for what I should ask for. I have a variety of colors blue, olive, white, brown, chocolate. And I raise them on organic feed as well as let free range as much as possible.

I plan on purchasing some new unmarked/unused cartons and add a custom stamp on the top, if that matters.

Would love to hear what you guys charge.

Many thanks!

I sold 42 dozen yesterday for $2 a dz.

Wow! That’s cheaper than our local grocery stores which will run me around $3-$6 a dozen depending on the store.

I sell mine for $3/dozen. When I was thinking about selling, I got on craiglist to see what they were going for and it was between $3-$5. I didn't want to be too low, as I think they are worth a little extra money, but I didn't want to be too high either. It would be a shame to sit on all of those delicious eggs because they were overpriced!
So if you check around your area, at least you can get an idea of where everyone else is at. Good luck to you!

Our stores offer them cheaper than my price.
Also I was told by a Distributor Rep. a couple months ago that Big Grocery chains sell their eggs at or below their costs. Hardly anyone just goes to the store for just eggs. Other high value items make up the difference.

Just like yesterday, I was selling baby chicks for $5 each. A customer was saying that I was gouging people because Rural King has chicks for $2.39.
I told him RK is selling them at or below cost. BECAUSE.. Now that you just bought your DIRT CHEAP chicks, you are now filling up your cart with expensive items like.. a new feeder, waterer, heat lamp, shavings, wire fencing, hardware cloth, feed.. then you come back again for more feed, again and again. They know what they are doing.

Walmart sells there eggs for 79 cents a dozen.. And breakfast cereal for $4.98.. they know what they are doing as well.
When I ask $3 for my eggs, it's like the phone is broken.. never rings. $2 for fresh eggs.. ring ring ring..

We use to do $2.50 for people who relentlessly blow their horn at my gate..
50 cent "impatience" charge. Or "Rudeness tax"

We sell our eggs for 3.60 bucks/dozen. Which is pretty much the store price for organic eggs...

I sell mine for $4/dozen. I have several people who have 'I'll take any you've got any time you have them' notes by their names.

Thanks for all the info everyone! I’m sure it varies by location as well. I was
Thinking $5/dz considering I pay $4/dz for organic eggs at the store.

I’ll have to do a test run and see if there are any interested neighbors.
