Space Chick Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 thanks guys, the girls at work are offering me 50-60p for 6, will have to bring me some empty egg boxes to fill, They are ripping you off Tiggy!! Thats 10p or less an egg, an insult to your girls effort in laying them! I haven't any "spare" yet, but when I do, I'm planning to charge £1.50 for 6, and people seem willing to pay that, as organic shop bought eggs can be anything up to £2.50 for half a dozen. In fact I have a queue of willing customers who keep asking me "You selling your eggs yet?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibby69 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I sell my girls' eggs for £1 for six. I bought eggboxes and labels too so if they take a new box away its £1.25, but most people bring them back with them when they want more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I sell my girls' eggs for £1 for 6 too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 £1.50 for 6 here. Not that we have many spare these days. However, when we do, they are very large eggs, so I think £1.50 is a good deal for the purchasers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 OK I think it will be £1 for 6, they are a mean lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katieadams Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yeah I think £1 is a bargain - we're planning on £1.50 for 6 when we get enough eggs to have spare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 We charge £1.20 for six and sell them easily. I just looked at the cheapest free range eggs at Tesco and went for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alet_chicken Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I sell our eggs at £1 for 6 at work - I simply bring them into the coffee room and leave them next to an honesty pot. It works really well - people have been really nice about bringing back the eggboxes too. We sell them in two "flavours": some boxes have six big brown eggs from our ex-bats, and others have brown, white and blue ones (with contributions from our Leghorns and Legbars). The multi-coloured ones are very popular indeed - though I keep telling them the larger ex-batt eggs are better value for money I think we could possibly get away with selling them for £1.50, but having a nice round number means less trouble with change.

tidygirlsuk Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 thanks guys, the girls at work are offering me 50-60p for 6, will have to bring me some empty egg boxes to fill, I live in the west midlands to and have been offered £1.20 for 6 but haven't sold any yet.

Adams Egg Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 So far I have had a casserole, babysitting, a bbq and some homemade relish in return. Just can't find anyone who is making their own wine! Bartering is the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saronne Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Bartering IS good. I do that sometimes, however, I also sell 6 eggs for £1.25 (2.50/dozen). People are very happy to pay that around here. Saronne x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I'm planing on selling mine for £1.50 for 6. ( though my neighbour insists on £4 a dozen) I have bought a large sign from Flytes of fancy and it is going at the end of the drive tomorrow as I have 45 eggs so far this week and I am away all next week. I also ordered boxes and labels from F.O.F and they all came next day, fantastic service from Anne on the phone as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve. Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 We sell our excess at £1.50 for 6. Most people that buy them say we need to put our prices up. I like £1.50 as it's easy with the coins! One family insist on £2.00 for 6 and won't buy them for anything else - which is nice. We have been getting to the situation where we have ~a week's or orders booked in advance. We sell to friends, family, and neighbours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidygirlsuk Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I haven't been able to sell any yet. And I've got loads of buyers waiting. I've only got 3 decent layers and a family of 5 people. Out of my other 6 chickens 1 is a cockerel, 1 is broody sitting on 5 !egg!s, 2 are not old enought to lay, 1 bantie just getting started, 1 pekin does it when she feels like it. Lets hope I get a couple of girls out of my hatching eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alet_chicken Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Oh dear tidygirlsuk, I can really sympathise! In the very week that I "officially" started selling eggs at work, one of my Leghorns went broody (apparently very rare!), one lay softies all week, and we had to withdraw my most reliable layer's eggs because she she had antibiotics (she hurt her leg; she's fine now). How embarrassing! Fortunately they're all back on song now (except the Leghorn, who is still broody ), and my customers are happy again!
