Lavenders_Blue Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 When I have a few spare I sell them for £1.20 for 6. If you have a village shop or farm shop (or similar) near you, check what price they sell theirs for and make that your starting point. If you don't have anywhere like this selling local eggs, I would say anything similar to or cheaper than supermarket price is okay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 When I have spare eggs I sell them for £1.50 for six Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trio Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Great, thanks for all your help. Think I'll start at £1 for 6 and see how it goes. Like you say you can't eat them all, no matter how yummy they are or were all end up tuning into eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 We never sell them, just given them away ... laying hens would be nice at the moment £1.50 for 6 sounds good to me too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nannyhill Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I would just like an egg fullstop . My girls came to me at 17wks at the end of October. I've been told that this is normal considering the time of year and all will be well come the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi I havent sold my eggs but am now wondering if perhaps I should, but my really great neighbours are so helpful its a bit of a trade off. My farrier and I swap eggs for potatoes and any other veg he has. But I think a £1 for 6 is a bargain and the comment I consistently get is "they are so fresh"! Even when I bought free range prior to owning chickens I never realised how un fresh the shop ones actually are. I am amazed to still be getting 5 eggs a day from my 5 hens..on odd days its 4! My farrier told me to ensure they have an area really dry in the run and the house is kept ie draught free and dry..they are in a cube and semi run and I do change the newspaper in the trays 3 times a week in this wet weather?? dont know if that helps. I was thinking of putting a little table outside in the summer requesting contributions to any eggs anyone takes? good luck interesting indie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I have just been giving my spares away. I thought there was a lot of rules and regulations you had to adhere to in order to sell your eggs so I haven't bothered. Maybe I should think again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grracee Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Since getting two new chooks I've decided that when they all start laying again I'm going to try and sell them, then the money can pay for their feed. Before i got the new ones i had three chooks and still then i still had some leftover that i wasn't using so now with five i think there will be alot more. I have one laying atm so the other day a family member wanted 6 and gave me £1.50 for them so i wasn't complaining I was thinking along the lines of £1.20 per dozen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky1 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 We sell ours at 2Euros for 6, (2.5 euros delivered) and we could sell more if we had them. I'm not sure it's right, to try and undercut Tesco's. Our eggs are better than that Our homemade sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimnpaula Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Friends & family are charged 25p each, so that's £1 for 4 or £1.50 for 6. Current plans for the egg money are for another skelter to store our spares! Amazingly for 'spent' ex batts we generally get 6 eggs from 7 girls, although we had 7 yesterday.
