Looks like I'm venturing into the egg selling business. Not by leaps and bounds, by any means. But I can now sell 4 or 5 dozen eggs a week, which will help to offset some of the feed costs associated with keeping backyard chickens.
I've started by offering them to co-workers via a popular social networking site. I offered three dozen extra large brown eggs, noting that they are organic and free range, and immediately got a response for two of them. I don't think I'll have any problems selling them.
Today, one of the ladies who works with me, who doesn't have computer access, expressed an interest in buying eggs. So, next trip into town, which will also be a work day for me, I'll but eggs into my styrofoam cooler and see who want some.
Besides the extra large ones, I also have some regular size eggs. To me, they look very small but in reality are probably around the same size as store bought medium or large eggs.
I'm offering them for $2 a dozen, which is pretty cheap I think. Eventually I may have to go up on the price if feed prices go up. By the way, the feed I do give them is whole grains and oyster shell. No medications of any kind.
