See I do not buy eggs ever stacked my coops so I get eggs all year..
Have like 6 customers that like 18's ran out.

I sort of wish I had room to stack mine like you do. I’ve had eggs all year because of my 3 sex links. I’ll have to get some more next season I think.

Well, I do plan on selling my eggs this year. I am the manager at the local Farmers Market and farm fresh eggs go within 5mins after opening! Only 2 vendors occasionally bring them.

Sounds like a good opportunity for you! How many chickens do you have?

I thought my farmer's market was bad - the egg stand would sell out in as fast as an hour after opening, so I was always in a huge hurry to get there before 10 AM to ensure I could get eggs.

Hello I'm new on BYC and from Wa state! This thread was pointed out to me...

Welcome so glad you made it over

I have 9 total... 7 hens and 2 roosters.. all different breeds. 4 of the hens are under 7 months and one of them just started laying. Additionally this year I plan on doubling or tripling my flock.. so 2023 on I'll be rolling in eggs, lol. Funny thing is I do not eat a lot of eggs so selling them makes more sense. Though I know I will not really make a profit but this is just fun for me.

We actually do not have a solid egg vendors. Those vendors that do its on occasion. We have the BEST farmers market in our entire valley! With vendors and amount of customers. Though an official chicken/egg stand would be marvelous. That is what I plan on doing over the next few years.

You must have long legs. I am short, so hated hubby's truck. It was a used super lifted F150. So glad it died. That thing was a lemon, and I think we spent almost as much fixing it as what he bought it for.

Nope. Only 5'4". I just am pretty limber legged even though I'm fat.

A good portion of my ability to get in probably has to do with learning to basically throw myself up an F-14 Tomcat when I was in my late teens and early 20s. You have to move fast and use momentum as there aren't enough hand or foot holds if you don't go fast.

Hubby worked in a shop most of his career and only on HM-53s in his last reenlistment. You don't climb all over the big helicopters like you do the jets.

Hey there off weather or walks can we talk egg cartons.. Anyone try to buy 18 count cardboard cartons lately .. I did all over Amazon we buy allot there. Nope google good for something. The egg carton store. Paid 1 buck a carton 65.00 Do not usually do that but try anywhere else
https://eggcartonstore.com/

Seeings how I am getting 65 if someone wants to come down they can get a few 1 $ per still

That's where Ive always ordered my cartons. I used to go through a lot when I sold eggs. They do have sales occasionally.

Im thinking about ordering some of the bantam cartons for the silkie eggs.
