I sold my first eggs!

[SoccerMomof7]

Yay me! Today when I dropped my boys off at preschool I was talking about my chickens and one of the ladies asked me to bring her 2 dozen eggs. Well when Lily (my 2 yr old) and I walked into the school with eggs I have so many people wanting eggs I don't think I will be eating eggs for awhile. I need almost 12 dozen just to fill orders of people that want them. I am so excited my DH was just making the comment that I was never going to make any $$$ to off set feed cost if I always give my family and neighbors eggs but I guess they are definitely going to have to wait now! My DH is going to be happy with me tonight!

Congrats!!

Can I ask how much you sell them for per dozen?

 

[SoccerMomof7]

I sold them for $1.50 per dozen. Not alot but enough to help with feed cost!

 

[Redfeathers]

Absolutely! I'm sure your new customers are thrilled to be getting farm fresh eggs at such a reasonable price.

Awesome! I am thrilled to here you are getting so many from just 9 hens! I have 8 who have yet to lay and six who have chosen to mostly take the winter months off. I hope to sell some as well so it is nice to know there is a market. I have tried to figure out what to charge when I finally do have extra eggs and so far just to make a little profit I think I would have to charge $2.00 per dozen and that is from the farm, but then my chickens seem to eat a lot more than the average bear

.

Congrats!

I just started selling mine at the local smoke shop (smoked meat that is). I'm selling them to the store for $3.00 per dozen and they are selling them retail for $4.99. Its what this market will bear. We live near a ski resort.
