Murdo Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 YupWe sell ours at 90p per half dozen and have a waiting list Now we're back to the economics. If you have a waiting list at 90p that means that the price is too low. Demand is exceeding the supply because your price is too low. In order to bring the market into equilibrium you must either raise the price, decreasing demand, or increase the supply. According to economic theory raising the price paid to the supplier will of course incentivise them to increase supply. In practice this means that if you pay your chickens more sweetcorn they will produce more eggs. Which may tell us why getting economists to run the economy doesn't often seem to work ...

Mel (& Paul) Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 ok I believe you at least I think I do if I undestood.......... Actually we worked out what we needed to pay for the layers mash / pellets / grit / louse powder etc. and just charged an appropriate rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 That would be my logic too Mel, although I'd probably round it off to £1.00 save srabbling about for 10p change everytime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Well we sell quite a lot of "fours" in the omlet box so sell them at 15p each - 60p for four, 90p for six (and a lot of people do tell me to keep the change! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherhen Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 We can use lots of glugs to hold all the boiling water Actually just realised an eglu would be really good to sit and lean on during those little things called contractions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherhen Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Don't worry Annie - we'll hold your hand during the 'breathing the contractions away' bit - otherwise called puffing and 'where is the entonox?' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdo Posted April 4, 2006 Author Share Posted April 4, 2006 Let me know when this goes back on topic. From economics to childbirth - that's got to be one of the biggest leaps for a while, even for this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 All part of the same theme - we are now finding additional uses for an eglu to enable buying one to be even more profitable. Lots of women use swiss balls during labour - now they have the choice of a British eglu to do the same job - with the additional benefit of fresh eggs if they are labouring through breakfast time Anyone got any other alternative/additional uses for an eglu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
