ChookieCaz Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I have another question. This time its about eggs. How much do people sell their eggs for? I would like to be able to sell a few to some of the people we know but would like to know what is reasonable, and also if it covers costs including egg boxes if I need to buy any. At the moment, I have some and people have generally been good about returning them. Also, we use organic layers pellets, although some of the "table scaps" including apple cores and uneaten Marmite sandwiches are not. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I charge £1 for 6 eggs. I am about to start selling quail eggs and wondered how much a dozen usually sell for. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Oh to have eggs to sell . I'd be happy with some eggs, full stop . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Never mind ANH Did you decide if you were going to get some more? I am planning to sell mine for £1 for 4, £1.50 for 6. As for Quails eggs Ocado are selling them for £2.75 for a dozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Debs, I'm worming them this week just in case but think I'll wait till we get back from holiday before making a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Actually - £2.05 !! That's what started all this thinking about chickens off for us... Yes, us too. However, when adding up the cost of initial Eglu, then the WIR, and now with the chicks, a second Eglu, I'm not sure we've actually save much money . Mind you, wouldn't have it any other way, you can't beat chicken keeping . Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was thinking £1.50 for a dozen quail eggs. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I was thinking £1.50 for a dozen quail eggs. What do you think? I think you're selling yourself short there Janty. I'd say £2 at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsw Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think you're selling yourself short there Janty. I'd say £2 at least I would agree. £2.00 for 12 freshly laid garden eggs is a very reasonable 'charge'. When we've been over run with eggs (ah, I remember the days!), people at work were more than happy to give me a couple of quid for a large box of eggs.

ChookieCaz Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 I know I've left it a while, but thank you to everyone who has given me some idea about what they are charging for the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
