Selling hatching eggs?

[bryan8]

I'm getting about 20 eggs a day now, and have run out of things to cook with them already! There an upcoming swap meet and was thinking of selling some hatching eggs by the doz. I figured id save up 10doz or so and try and sell them.

What is a fair price to ask?

Here it's from $2 - $5.
But your area may differ.

Around here they sell for about .50 per egg. You can see lots of them on ebay for $5 per dozen and cheaper for large amounts. Good luck.

you could try pickling them. Pickled eggs would last longer and also should sell good, some people would prefer them over raw eggs. If they are fertile, they could be sold on ebay (or craigslist) for a better profit (in some cases) Good luck.

We pickle the excess eggs. We don't sell them, they don't last long enough. Our family loves them.

I have never tried one pickled myself but hear they are great. I may have to try it in the future. Do you have a recipe for that?

If you do decide to sell hatching eggs just remember not to save eggs old than 7 days, the fertility declines fairly sharply after that point.

That's one of my favorite ways to eat the quail eggs I got 3 jars in the fridge at this moment!

have you tried to sell them to Oriental restraunts or health food places? here is a link to assist with that. There are plenty of places that you "could" sell your eggs. You may want to go to your local grocery store and see if they'd be interested in carrying them as well (you'd have to invest in some quail egg cartons, but it takes money to make money).
I hope this helps out.
