Farm Fresh Eggs: How We Sell 20 Dozen Eggs a Week!

This is one of the best and honest videos I've seen on this subject.

But you didn't include how many eggs were going to the family to eat every week. I wouldn't mind selling enough eggs (when I have more hens) so that it pays for all the eggs my daughter's family and I would eat. I, too, enjoy it. And my 96 yr old mother enjoyed watching all the chickens from my cameras I gave her access to. 😊

Thanks for sharing your experience! Very informative video. We have laying hens & raise meat chickens. You are right...a lot of work, minimal return, but also intrinsically worthwhile & satisfying...consumer support of local ag producers/products is key for all of us to know where our food is coming from & for sourcing wholesome, delicious food! That's what keeps us motivated to keep the layers & poultry production...it's amazing to be part of producing wholesome & delicious food! I can relate to much of what you shared on the egg production & sales...similar experiences here...we're in Southeast Ohio. Many blessings!

Ty BK farm for the great video i’m hoping I can start selling some eggs myself to pay for some of the feed

Thank you...

I would tell the customers who want their eggs washed to wash them when they get home. I would not take orders or even answer questions about availability.

in the fall and winter you need too supply the hens supplemental lightening in the form of a solar lighting on a timer switch hens need 14 hours of light per week too be in full production

I think you could easily raise your price to at least 6 or 7 per dozen. Good quality eggs at the grocery store in my area go for 7, 8, and even 10 per dozen. I gladly pay 7 or 8 for high-quality eggs. Especially if you cant keep up with demand, raise your price.

I brake out even on a 12 month period. But I just like doing it. No labor cost.

Great video and info. A thought. If you increase each cartone to $6.00 you make $20.00 more per week. In 6 months (26 weeks) you will double your profit. $520.00 more. Just my opinion. I have give consideration to sell ours at $6.00 per dozen.

We sell 100 dozen a.week, unwashed,.honor system, on a.roadside stand. First come first serve. Been selling eggs 10 years. My kids run the show and.divide.the.money...$6 a.dozen.

You may have said and I missed it but how many layer hens do you have to produce 20doz a week? Keep up the good work. Love from Australia

A dozen farm fresh egg go for $10/dozen in my neck of the woods

Where did you buy your eggs cartons? Could you please share the link 🔗. TIA

what about hatching them and selling chick's to add to your revenue as well? just a thought

Doyou sell and ship eggs to TN

The way I look at it is that you are getting paid to have a better and healthier product for you and your family. You’re getting money just for doing your day to day chores

Soldier fly colonies, and restaurant scraps would have cut your food bill in half. And make the chickens happier😢

Eat, Sleep, Farm, Repeat.. No doubt... I hatch all my own chickens. I raise Black Australorp and White leghorns.. the Australorp hardboiled eggs peel without a hitch over the leghorns.. This was one of the greatest discoveries I have have ever made. I love hardboiled eggs but hate an egg that gets destroyed when trying to peel off the shell. I thought it was about how you cooked them, but found out different. It's the breed. Amazing. Best tip ever for raising chickens that lay through winter better and hard times.. Hatch the eggs from those chickens... Breed the best looking roosters back to the mother and produce offspring hens that lay like clockwork.. it actually work. Don't listen to none of that BS about inbreeding. That is how it has been done for centuries.. selective breeding and culling the undesirables for breeding purposes. After 5 years of doing this I have a strong laying flock. I put the hens alone in their separate cages to find out who is laying and who isn't. Once you get yerself setup to where you can do that you will be dialed in. Also put a light in the coop when the hours get below 12 hours a day.. add hours to the morning so it does not interfere with their roosting.. or if they sleep on the ground, so they can get settled for the night with a normal sunsetting event.

we charge $8 for a dozen eggs, and we cant keep them in stock :P
