Guest Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I can only get 50p for 4 eggs - I think I need you to come and give me some marketing training, Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola O Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I've been selling mine for 40p (10p per egg). I must be undercharging - lets have some selling tips Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I sell mine for £1 a box (of 4) - must be London Prices!! Cookie. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Mine go for £1 for 6. I reckon I sell 2-3 boxes of 6 a week,so I may have £100 in the pig when a year is up I give away a lot too,though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Advertise your eggs to your family and freinds. Give them leaflets and let them see the hens. My waiting list is 8 people long. I said there is going to be a 1 week break because I want some eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I have to say, mine have kind of sold themselves. Mums kept coming up to me in the playground (DS had spread the word we have pet chickens ) asking if they could buy some eggs. The first time anyone asked me how much I'd sell a box of 4 for I just came up with £1, being a nice round number ... with no more thought than that! Now I sell 3 boxes a week, and give away probably 1 or 2 to friends and family, and always seem to have plenty for us I have a waiting list of several more Mums, but don't want to sell any more as its nice to be able to give them away, and eat lots of scrambled eggs and pancakes ourselves Love, Cookie. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Cookie,that is exactly my thought too. Plenty for us,enough to give away & some left over to sell as well When my Bantams come,I wonder if I can sell some of those eggs too, or if they will be thought of as too small ?

Hellcat Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Are bantie eggs richer than normal hen eggs? If so they might go for a good price to anyone who bakes, although you might have to supply double for the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 I heard than Bantam eggs taste better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Ours are 15p each and we put the money in an egg box and use it for the girls food, corn, grit, etc. We even managed to pay for Tomisina's recent visit to the vet with it! I always have a waiting list for the eggs and also have plenty for us (fried eggs with dried cure bacon, field mushrooms and fried tomatoes - YUM!) and to give away to friends etc You could sell banties eggs - especially to cake makers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
