Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

My cat caught a mouse just now. Not 10 feet from where I am sitting

. We got it and I tossed it into the chicken run. Enjoy ladies.

A couple of years ago my Daughter and I broke up a rat nest. We dumped five or so in with the layers and by the next day there was nothing left of them, not even the bones.

The girls loved them to death!

Wow, lots to celebrate!!! Now only if mine would lay.....
Sold some eggs and got a request from a new customer
We sell in a box of six eggs mainly in the UK, it's three pounds from the shop for free range and a pound for battery. I sell for a pound because, my girls are pets and any money I get will go for their feed, I will probably charge more but for now the main thing for me is to encourage people to stop buying battery eggs, I don't want to be competitive with other free range eggs; I want to be competitive with battery.
Whelp, if morties are posts are novels mine are probably only short stories

Problem with that is it might be difficult to raise your prices later once your customers are used to paying the one pound price. Personally, I'd just start out charging a little more, people are going to expect to pay a little more for higher quality, humanely raised eggs. I'd put it somewhere between battery and store bought free range myself if i were you.

Last I checked, the girls hadn't touched the mouse yet. What a bunch of chickens. Last summer they hunted down and killed several moles in the yard so I figured they would know what to do with this.

Yeah, I do get a similar thing with CLindz people saying I should charge more, I get your point, the one pound does put really mean anything when I'm selling about one pack a week just because I don't have eggs to sell so when the two little ones start then it might be of some significance. I might just charge a little bit more for blue eggs (when I get them :/ ) as they are more exotic.

You do free range. The American definition is that they have access to the outside. Doesn't mean they even get outside.
