I believe there is no egg withdrawal period for home consumption of eggs but I think you are not permitted to sell them.

The data sheet does not mention selling thou so perhaps that's OK too

This document however

http://www.vmd.gov.uk/domestickeeper.pdf

seems to me to say that you can't sell them.

Give the number on the bottom of that document a ring and ask them.  They are DEFRA so should be able to tell you.
