................for 6 eggs??

 

I'm currently getting 14 eggs a week from my three ex batts and want to rescue more in feb so will (hopefully) get alot more eggs, and hence thinking about selling, just wondered what the going rate is.

 

Thanks

i think i probably charge at the upper end of the scale at £1.50 for 6. I've recently dropped the price to £1.20 because the eggs have been fairly muddy and since i can't clean them, i haven't liked to charge this.

 

I did realise after a few weeks that i'd been including eggs from an older girl whose shells were very thin and whose egg whites had gone very runny: i offered a week's free eggs as an apology and now i pull her eggs out before selling. I know mostin has this problem with some of her ex-batts, so you may need to watch out for this as they age.

I have that problem with my ex batts eggs. So I only put a maximum of 1 in each egg box I sell, but I make sure there is always a green, blue or white egg in my boxes, as they are more "interesting". I charge £1.50 per half dozen.

I charge 25p per egg, so that people can buy whatever multiple they want, therefore £1.50 per 6.

I dont charge, I am too much of a sucker.

I dont charge either, i give most of mine to family or friends and then to the neighbours. Must keep the neighbours sweet if Im hoping to sneak a cockeral in

[Laura & CTB]

I dont charge either, I give the eggs away to friends and neighbours - it was lovely to get a bottle of Moet from my next door neighbour as a thankyou at Christmas, I'm quite happy with that

I ask for, and get, a 15p donation per egg, just to cover their food. It's my way of getting round any selling legislation, I don't tout for business either, all the people who donate money for (buy) eggs asked me for them

[Christian]

25p per egg so £1.50 for 6 or £1 for 4. The boxes of four do really well, which is handy if I am doing a lot of baking and need the eggs myself.

 

People who buy my eggs (when I have any ) say that £1.50 is cheap

so if i start selling - what should i be careful about??

[BarbaraJ]

£1.50 FOR 6 though i gave 6 for a £1 today by mistake dohh! worse bit was i actually needed them myself for a cabonara so had to go next door and beg for some eggs

[Lewis]

We've never charged ... yet, but said it would be £1.50 for 6

[AmberSky]

OMG i charge 80p half or £1.50 a dozen, but i only sell them to either my mother in law or an old man that comes weekly. sometimes i think i am only keeping chickens to sell to him.

 

I now realise i am charging too little but i dont have the heart to ask for more

[miffy]

this seems to be a geographical issue.

So many people keep chickens, I've noticed someone here selling them at 80p for half a dozen, most sell at £1 for half a dozen. Doubt we could sell them at £1.50 but might try it in the summer....hahahah

[AmberSky]

I dont want to seem greedy, all i use the money for is feed, though it barely covers it.

Though suddenly i have an increase in egg production as its starting to warm up a touch and slightly longer days.

 

Had 8 eggs today which is only the second time thats happened so far!

 

I just feel for all the work my girls do £1.50 for a dozen is giving them away!

[Raina]

We don't charge anything,

 

We give our family all our for free

[dancing cloud]

I sell the eggs at work charging £1 for 6, and put people's names on the boxes so they bring them back when they want a refill. All the proceeds are donated to BHWT, so I sell excess eggs (not that there are many at the moment), customers get cheap free-range eggs and can come and meet the girls who lay them, and BHWT gets some money .

 

Best of all, I get the hens!
