I am curious what do other people sell their eggs for?

I have realised that we are not getting through all our eggs so I offered em to friends as freebies and they are insisteing they want to buy in future, I said 70p for half a dozen would be fine but they were scandalised and insisted on at least a quid.

so I had a look and they are quite a price in the shops about £1.55 for large free range so I wonder what do the rest of you charge?

I have also been very suprised at how keen people are to have them I know they taste much better but its suprising how many people hate the idea of the kind of eggs they buy at the moment, I didnt prompt em or even mention battery hens they just sort of rambled on about how horrible it all was

currently eggs from my birds ( they are not mine technically anymore ) but they are going for £4.50 a tray of 30, £1.30 half doz £2.20 a doz and they cant lay enough to meet demand so take the money and say thank ya

holy moly well that is really nice to know!  I was worried about taking money off people but I feel much better now, it will help ofset the higher feed prices too I suppose.

We are getting about 25 eggs a week from our 4 Black Rocks, which means that we have about a dozen spare each week.

We gave them away to start with, but as people offered to buy them, I charge £1 per half-dozen. I figure that this is fair, as supermarket 'Free Range' eggs are at least £1.50 (and still don't have the colour or taste of 'fresh' eggs, IMHO).
This pretty much covers the cost of their feed and straw, which is nice!  

Nice to know that people are getting a conscience about how chickens are kept too......

We do eggs as part of our veg box scheme, at EUR 1.20/6.  However, for friends, the barter system comes into play.  Sometimes it can be 'bring some eggs round and I can show you how to make xxx with them', or "here's half a quintali of cabbages that have gone over for your chickens.  Got any spare eggs?"

Munty's chooks are Welsummers which lay chocolate brown eggs.  I'm guessing these will sell at a premium price
