scarlettohara Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Just took a couple of eggs for my neighbour (they aren't very friendly but they can see the chickens) and you'd think I'd given him an unexploded bomb He did thank me but I didn't really think he meant it, I'll keep them for the nice neighbours in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Maybe he's not used to people being nice to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoxy Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I personally wouldn't offer any more I love to give my eggs away...but only to those who show a genuine interest in my chickens...and that doesn't included immediate neighbours sadly I give the lady at the end of the Close eggs as and when I have spares...she really appreciates them As a friend of mine often says...there's nowt queer as folk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I've never had any problem giving eggs away. One chap I know will only have slightly soiled dirty ones, says it a sure fire way of knowing they don't come from a shop. Mind you, he works for the Forestry Commission and is used to culling, peeling and butchering poor defenceless deer so a bit of chicken guano won't worry him. And now I've got 6 new Araucan's I've got a list of people who have put in orders for the eggs. Don't really want to give blue eggs away though so what's a reasonable price to charge, when they start laying that is? Help pay for the feed.

Snoxy Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I have never appreciated eggs so much since we got our girls I am planning to sell some of our eggs when they are all laying frequently...I have two green, one blue as well as cream, brown, white egg layers...am thinking i will sell the eggs in date order...so customers should more or less get a mixed colour box A friend has already said she will buy a dozen a week from me rather than the supermarket she usually buys from Although I love to give them away as I said previously, some money towards feed etc would be great I did read on another thread that people sell theirs for anything from £1-£1.50 How lovely...six blue egg layers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
