Sold my first dozen eggs.

[The Lazy L]

As soon as the word got out (wife) that I am raising chickens I've been bombarded with request for eggs.

With 8 BOs maturing I'm getting 4 to 5 eggs daily. We use a dozen a week so that left 1, maybe 2 dozen a week to sale.

WHEN YOU SELLING EGGS?

Neighbor gives us the surplus from her garden, she gets free eggs.

WHEN YOU SELLING EGGS?

Aunt Mary gather about a million zillion egg cartons from the retirement home, she gets a dozen free.

WHEN YOU SELLING EGGS?

Wife tells her coworkers I've got eggs...

WHEN YOU SELLING EGGS?

OK fine, $3 per dozen.

oh...I've been telling people $1 or maybe $2.

$3 per dozen.

Well 20 years ago I sold them for $1.25 to cover the cost of my feed.

$3 per dozen.

I'm going to ask around and see what the going price is.

That's fine. My eggs cost $3 per dozen.

You put the eggs in the carton wrong. Eggs should be pointed end down!

That would cost you $4 a dozen. Mine are only $3 a dozen.

Wife has a coworker that's been consistent in politely asking so I gave her a dozen free. Coworker likes the eggs and pays $3 for another dozen!

Congrats on selling your first dozen!

We sell ours for $2.00 a dozen here and a few people have balked at that. Of course here everybody and their cousin rasies chickens, so eggs are plentiful. I have a nieghbor that sells hers for $1.00 a dozen.
I really think to cover your feed bill $3.00 is very fair.
