Who all here gives away their eggs?

[Ridgerunner]

What we don't use we sell at Church and donate the proceeds to one of their fund-raisers.

I give my eggs away to my neighbors and they give me , blackberries, fresh garden goodies (they know I love to can), their canned goods, fix a tire and mount it for me, baked goods, electrical work etc. etc. I love my neighbors!!

Usta have about 25-30 hens all the time, but no more. Justa few. When I had so many, I attended a small church. Took all my extras to church in baggies, about twice a month. Sometimes I included goose eggs, one in each baggie, as far as they went. Just a treat and a blessing for those I cared about. Never charged a dime, but made lots of smiles.......Pop

I give eggs to my neighbour who gives me sawdust for the coop bedding.
I sell approx 70 dozen a month ($3.50 per dozen) to pay for feed and the initial cost of the birds and coop building. In a year I might come out ahead

That is my pay- off too (as Dr. Phil would say) Seeing them smile and appreciating the gift.

I have not sold any, although people have offered. I like to give them to family and firends, the postman, the guy that brings my wood for the stove, my son's teachers...just about anyone that I'm friends with or that I think might want some. I have given away hatching eggs as well - only sold some once. I feel more rewarded by giving them away than by the buck or two that I would get or a dozen in my area. I LOVE giving away my eggs to people who I feel will appreciate them!

We give to family and friends plus do some "horse tradin" with a local feed store.I recently picked up a pitch fork and have gotten chicken feed with no money exchanged.It works out well

I never used to eat eggs until I had my own. Store bought eggs would make me feel

the rest of the day. There is such a taste difference and my "home grown" eggs don't make me feel sick.

We use lots of eggs, but in the summer we do have extra, so I give those to family and friends.

We give away our excess eggs. The birds provide us with free music and love so why not give away their product? They told me to just spread their love.

I give mine away.. I can't find buyers. I advertise on CL and around town. No takers. But my freebie egg getters don't eat them fast enough. I have 10dz sitting on my kitchen table. Thinking about taking some to the church and making a bunch of cookies and cakes today. People will snatch that up quicker than anything!!
