Selling your eggs before they are layed? Presaling eggs, tips and tricks?

No need to apologize just thought it a curious suggestion! I know they used to eat peacocks to show how powerful and wealthy they are, but not the case here.

People got pretty elaborate with their banquets, didn't they?

If I had the opportunity, I'd love to have a nice aviary of ornamental pheasants. Though yes, I wouldn't eat any unless I had to.

Not sure where to put this, wasn’t sure anyone would see it in the pheasant board, and we discuss shipped eggs here all the time, just not the shipper part! My question is does anyone pre-sale their eggs from their unique breed/species? If so, any tips and tricks, how do you set prices, what do you do if you can’t fulfill an order, etc? I’ve shipped eggs from my quail, so that’s old hat, but I have a young pair of golden pheasants now and they only lay in the spring and only 12-18 eggs. I don’t think i can sell them all locally (as chicks or eggs) and certainly can’t handled them all myself. And I definitely don’t want to waste the eggs! I know pheasant eggs don’t ship well and the prices I vaguely remember are ridiculous (a guy on eBay has them for $56 each!), so I’m looking for ideas! Thanks!

Have you looked at www.hatchaholics.com? If you are NPIP and can ship across state lines a dedicated poultry marketplace that allows vendors to set up their own store front (like etsy) may be a way to go. You can set your stock to: in stock, out of stock, or backorder.
