Selling eggs

[kara_leigh]

This may sound stupid, but do you have to "do" anything in order to sell eggs, or do you just put up a sign or an ad and then sell them? We just had our second chicken start laying eggs, but eventually we will have 33 chickens laying eggs and we won't be able to eat them all, so we would like to sell them. I don't want to do anything wrong or illegal. Thanks for any advice!!

Legal, illegal is determined by state and local ordinances.

Most states allow small sales from your yard.

If you sell to friends and co-workers you most likely don't have to worry about it.

If you label it not graded, not for human consumption in our state and most states then you are ok.

But call your county extension office for more info.

we "sell" ours...

$2 - $2.50 a dozen..depending on who we sell to...

however; around here we are not to "deliver" eggs...they are to come here and buy/pay on property..
however most of my customers are church ppl...and they dont care and wont turn me in..some of them are ppl who
cannot get out...so they pay me and then at a later date they "get eggs"...

GL!
