How much do you sell YOUR eggs for?

[ilovechickenliver]

I will have 16 layers VERY soon and the chickens I have lay an egg a day, every day. Even if I get a dozen a day, that's A LOT of eggs for me and my family. I will have a wide variety of eggs- white, light brown, medium brown, dark brown, blue, pinkish. I will be feeding them cracked corn and flax along with organic hen feed so they will have nice dark yolks. I plan on selling most of them and I have a few questions-

1.) How much do you sell very large sized brown/white eggs?

2.) Do you charge more for Maran or Auraucana eggs?

3.) Where do you try to sell them?

4.) Is it necessary to wash eggs with a special "egg soap" if you plan on selling them?

5.) How do you advertise your eggs and does advertising really work?

6.) Is it a good idea to buy new cartons when selling to customers who are strangers instead of using re-used ones?

I sell mine for $10 a pound
making some great money

Oh really?! That's cheap! I live in a small apt in NYC and well I can only have one chicken since all the whole foods are too expensive. So I end up selling my eggs 10$ per egg!
