fun! chickens are fun to watch,,especially for the canines! 10 months or 10 years,,,enjoy your new eggs,it's so much fun and enjoyment.

Your eggs are worth far more than walmarts!
We sell ours for $3.50/doz and everyone is more than happy with that price. Taste and freshness sells! Next time you are in Walmart, look at the expiry date on the eggs, then count back 60 days and you will know when they were laid. Usually they are pretty old. We've only got 10 hens and there is a waiting list for the eggs.
Did you know that many major egg suppliers simply dye the white eggs brown so they can charge more for them? Doesn't that beat all!

OMG what a dirty trick!

My mom says egglands best eggs are pretty fresh and I think she pays about $3.00 for them.

What about duck eggs? Anyone have experience selling them? They seem to be an up and coming product. My kahki campbells are excellent layers.

Ducks don't lay as well as chickens, with a lower feed to egg conversion, and they don't take as well to laying batteries, so duck eggs are limited in scope in that regard. However they are richer and many Asian restaurants use them. Based on the lower laying rate I'd suggest that you sell them for more than chicken eggs, but they might be hard to move.

Runningtrails,
Congratulations on selling your first eggs!

Vinny,
I used to have ducks and always found their shell to smell kind of musty. I just couldn't get over the scent. I used to wash them w/antibacterial soap but it only seemed to mask the smell. I used most of them for baking, I found them to work very well in this regard.

My MIL always used duck eggs for baking, she said they were richer... She's a fantastic cook.
