Wow, I am selling way low. Next feed incease will cause a price increase on my eggs.

many who buy from me tell me I should charge more. I get $4 a dozen for duck eggs. Sell out every week.

I have people asking me "when will you have duck eggs available?" The poor things are only six weeks old - it'll be a while yet.

I'm overrun with eggs right now. Either everyone wants tons, or there's no call for them. It's Omelet Time!

I should make a whole passel of these - they sound fabulous! http://homecookingmemories.com/bacon-jalapeno-deviled-eggs/

Great. I will tell my DH! (As I yell to him in the other room

) Going to paint it this week. Exterior only. Been reading Beekeeping for Dummies...



"Local" eggs here are HOT HOT HOT! And I am so very glad. Sold 5 dozen today, now cleaned out. Have 7 dozen hatching eggs ordered for this week and 6 dozen for next week. Plus I am hoping to be able to save for the swap on Saturday. C'mon girls!

WOW!!! Good for you....I don't have the hens for that kind of sales. I have 13 laying hens, but only get 6 - 8 eggs a day....once in a while I only get 4, from my D'uccles. So on the days I get 6 only 2 of them are large, 4 on the 8 egg days, that doesn't give me a huge inventory. I think, since I am selling so low I will start to put 2 small eggs in each dozen....considering what everyone else is getting for their eggs only getting 10 large and the tiny 2 equally one large....Since I only have one customer, so far, I can talk to her about the price and need to put in the 2 tiny eggs....I'm pretty sure she'll agree. (Her grandson will LOVE the tiny eggs, esp if she serves them fried or sunny side up)

holy crap! Good stuff! I have 10 dozen in the fridge to start the week for selling as eating eggs.I get at least a dozen large/jumbo eating eggs a day. By the end of the week i'll only have 2 or 3 dozen left. A few dozen Sumatra hatching eggs set aside, just in case. Collecting Runner duck eggs again to hatch. The ones in the bator are all veining nicely!

remember the tablespoon of vinegar in the water when boiling the eggs...they will shell like store bought eggs.

Wow, can't believe there was 20 posts from just a couple of hours ago! I'm back in Albany. :-( That was a great week off but man I miss being up there when I'm back here. Can't wait to be up there permanently in June. It's supposed to be in the 80-90's tomorrow! Crazy! Wish my son was off from school THIS week - would have been great week to spend outside. We only got a few nice days last week in Cuse.

Everyone is finally sleeping including the chicks! Glad they settled down fast! Busy week, back to working tomorrow. A couple of my girlfriends are coming up this weekend and we're heading out for some fun Friday and Saturday night. Bringing them to Dinosaur BBQ because neither has been yet. Only sampled the sauce I keep bringing them LOL Goodnight everyone!

I couldn't GIVE away my organic-fed eggs for a long time, then my mom posted on the bulletin board at the school that she works at that she would sell fresh brown eggs. Now I can't keep up with the orders (I only have 6 hens). I was previously posting on Craig's list and Eggzy and everywhere else, but the moment my mom put up a notice for fresh 'farm' brown eggs people went nuts. Just an idea, try local businesses that are welcoming of that sort of thing if you're having trouble. The words 'farm' and 'brown egg' seemed to be the magic trick, at least they were for me.
