Hello... I am a fairly new chicken "farmer" located about 60 miles north of New York City. I have 16 hens (no Roosters) and they lay about 12 eggs per day. I sell my eggs where I work, and I always have more "customers" than eggs to sell. My son, who has more hens than I, sells some to restaurants in his area. Another egg seller in my area has a sign out by his driveway, leaves cartons of eggs on a table (partly up the drive) with a "honor cash box" on it, and customers help themselves to the eggs and pay the box. Like most small-time hen raisers, I charge a fair price and use the proceeds to buy more feed.... Yep, I confess... my hens are my pets!
