Why am I having so much trouble selling my eggs?

[TK Poultry]

i have a ton of eggs here at the house and have been trying to see them i have them advertised everywhere and have a buyitnow on the BSA Hatching Egg Section.... ive been trying to sell EE and Serama Eggs but I will have Swedish and Speckled Sussex eggs soon and im affraid im not going to make any money!

It is due to supply and demand.

you would not have too much trouble selling your Amer. Bantam eggs, particuarly the Lavenders. Anything Lavenders you would get a nibble!

well i really need to get rid of them.... im not offering my bantam ameraucanas because they have a few flaws and im just not ready to sell them

have you tried hatching them and selling them on craigslist or swap meets. We have found that the eggs/chicks don't sell very well unless you work on improving the breeds you have toward the standard, unless you sell at the local swap meets. Good thing our family likes to attend poultry shows and everyone pitches in taking care of all the animals. Our sales help with the feed bill and cost of shows.

im selling them slowly on a local forum called Hoosier Topics and Craigslist, hopefully my pure breeds will sell better!! i just want to make enough to buy my feed and have some to buy entry fees into shows.... so far ive made $9

Not to tell ya what to do, But I just went to your website to the for sale page and it says that you have no hatching eggs available at this time, If it were me I would list the eggs you have for sale and you may get some takers.

GOOD LUCK

Yep, that and put them on ebay! I cant keep eggs around this time of year, between here, ebay and my website, I am a few months out on some already. I do have some pretty rare stuff too though, which goes back to that supply and demand post. If you want to make a little money off them, you have to watch these sites and see what sells best, then get you some of the best stock you can find in those breeds and colors.
Good luck

Edit that Aubrey, you DO have some of the rarest stuff, LOL some of them weren't even known until you created them.
