I hate the taste of store bought eggs.
I have to deal with it until my supplier's chickens start laying again. I'm still working on my coop, so hope to have my own eggs next year!

I sell my eggs now for $2.50 a dozen. Walmart Brown eggs are up to $2.90 something. I was selling eggs at the Farmer's Market in the summer for $2.75 a dozen and sales were strong until another vendor showed up and sold eggs for $1.50. She was selling so cheap because she didn't have a regular market or customer base and had 70 layers.
I lowered my price right before the Farmer's Market closed for the season because my feed cost had dropped. My local feed mill has reduced their 50 lbs. bag of feed around $2 a bag since last year. A year ago I was paying $11.57 for a 50 lbs. bag and now I'm paying $9.54 a bag.
Is this for a scratch mix of grain or crumbles/pellets?Our feed price fluctuates between $9.75-$11 / 50 lb. bag, but we get it from an actual feedmill in the next county over. You might want to search for one nearby if you are getting your feed from some place like TSC or Southern States. It's usually $5-$6 cheaper a bag for us.
I just have trouble figuring out which lay the largest eggs..... Ha, ha... I hope that helps. Susie Q ([email protected]).

From what I've read the red stars lay the largest eggs. I could be wrong, but all of my research seems to point to that.
