« on: July 21, 2011, 17:07 »

I don't sell mine but did so some research for interest.

The cheapest was Waitrose at £2.29 a dozen. All the others were specialist breeders and were charging upwards of £2.50. You may wish to check this as I did it about 4 months ago. :)

We had a look in waitrose and they were charging £3.30 for a dozen, but they were cooked and peeled and also... they're waitrose =p.
We're going to say £2 a box I think =)
Took three boxes to them yesterday, and they were so happy that they're going to put
'Maria's happy quail eggs' on the menu! (That's the name I made for my labels on my boxes when I wasn't intending to sell them, just wanted them to look pretty when I gave them away to friends and family!)

this is where you will run into problems as they are for a 3rd party so you may need to look at the Defra website as to how you comply with this.

Our local butcher sells them at 2.50 per doz

I suspect a whole sale price of 1.80 - 2.00/ doz dosnt sound unfair.
