Space Chick Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 There are some useful threads in the egg section. This is a recent one.... http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=48701&view=unread#unread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I give most of mine away, but when I do sell them I charge £1.50 for half a dozen........and people are more than happy to pay that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffordmum Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 We charge £1.00 for 6 and that covers the monthly feed bill People have been very good at recycling their egg boxes with us too. Steves' colleagues reckon our garden fresh eggs are absolutely beyond compare We're hoping to start with quail soon ... Kind rgds, Pat & Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saracook31 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Most people I know are happy to pay £1 for half a dozen which covers my food etc bill each month. Still cheaper than the shops with a much nicer taste and colour I've been told! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 We do the same - £1 for 6 plus we ask them to recycle the box and the £1 goes in my 4-year old son's money box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 As our eggs are the tastiest that you can get (so I am told ) we charge £1 for 4 or we swap for veg with those with allotments or veg patches. 4 eggs recently swapped for 1 huge burpless cucumber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooklady Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 £1.20 for 6 here, everyone thinks they are cheap at that price, it covers their food bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 i tryed to give my eggs away as i started getting a surplus. i thought better to give them away rather than chuck them away! this didn't work at all as all of my neighbours insisted on paying for them! word has quicly spread and i now have too many customers and not enough eggs i now have a rota worked out so that everyone gets their half dozen in turn! i usually get £1-£2 for each box but to be honest the compliments about quality are much more rewarding than the money.( although the kids would disagree as they get to keep the money as they deliver the eggs!)
