Mel (& Paul) Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 We tend to sell a lot in the Omlett boxes just because people at my work like them - but we do get big orders for 12 sometimes I have seen the plain boxes but I am not sure where one gets them! Good luck - this time next year you could be millionaires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I don't want to be a 'party pooper' and I don't really know, but I thought you needed a Local Authority licence to sell anything from your door. Perhaps someone can correct me, or maybe it depends where you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I dont think you do need a licence if you have under a certain amount of chooks. - but I guess it is worth checking with the local authority Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 We have got round it by word of mouth. i don't have a sign but friends and neighbours know they are available sometimes and I have a 'waiting list' of people who will always buy when they are there. £1 for 6. To be fair though, there isnt more than 1 box a week free. Must stop baking cakes..... or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You can sell to family and friends without a licence but not to anyone who will be selling them to a third party - like shops. I got the egg boxes from Ascotts as Ali has posted earlier, they do everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I thought you needed a Local Authority licence to sell anything from your door. Perhaps someone can correct me, or maybe it depends where you live? Maybe you get round this by renting the egg boxes and getting 6 eggs free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 I think I will just go for it & hope the village busy bodies ignore me the trouble with living in a small rural village is that there is always SOMEONE who wants to know what you are doing & why.....& telling you how you can do it better!

ali-s Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) If your Village is anything like the one I live in, your neighbours knew weeks ago you were going to sell your eggs Edited February 27, 2006 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I applied for a domestic fowl trust catalogue, and it came this morning. In there they sell 3 PLAIN egg boxes for 22p. BARGAIN! The egg boxes carry 6 eggs each and their are upgradable sizes like 10 and 30. Just thought I'd tell you. Kind Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I think you lot sell your eggs quite cheap! I'd charge them depending on weight, however is that classed as size? Kind Regards Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
