First egg sale!!!

[shirlthegirl43]

Woohoo! Just sold our first half dozen eggies!!

Way to go girls - keep popping those little beauties out!

[OverWyreGrower]

Yay!!

I have a cohort of people at work who email me when they need eggs! I can sell about 24 a week most weeks. My girls went off lay just before Christmas, and they all complained that they had to buy eggs over Christmas and they weren't as nice as mine!

One of the ladies who gets my eggs brought in loads of broccoli for the girls last week

[HayleyB]

Well done Shirl, it becomes addictive ya know

[HeyWayne]

That's eggcellent news!

Sorry - someone had to do it, might as well be me!

[T-lady]

[di]

Go T-lady!!
Cool news Shirl!

[SarzWix]

Yay! That's brill Shirley

[Snadger]

Well done shirl!

I have plotholders chasing me up the allotment path asking for eggs! I had two lots sold before I even collected them yesterday.

I plotholder who has a big family has told me just to leave as many as I can't get rid of at his Shed door and he'l settle up when he see's me! He will as well, as he's always coughed up in the past! I'll have to try and find a slate to add names to soon!

Sorry to steal your thunder Shirl, but mine seem to be the only ones laying at the allotments so I have a captive audience at present!

Go, chooks go!

[shirlthegirl43]

I don't have a lottie - the girls live in the garden. I have to confess that the sale was to a friend who has been having eggies for free but I explained to her that I would have to charge as the chooks need to pay their own way a bit.

She is quite happy to pay for them and is going to cancel her regular egg delivery now!

I sold my first half dozen the other day too. I keep getting asked if mine are back in lay yet. Getting 2 per day now, so I reckon another month or two, the girls will be getting back in the swing.

[di]

I'm just dreading mine having their 1st moult & going off the lay!!(not that I don't think they deserve a little break!)...but we have "orders" for approx 48 a week(not including the occassional request)...tis where I wish we'd got them at different ages,therefore hopefully managing to remain pretty consistent all year round.

[Glutton4...]

I'm getting just over 60 eggs a week now, and OH is selling those we don't use at work. Most people pay up front too! I was going to make an honesty box for the top of the lane, but if I do that I'll need more Hens .

Now, there's a thought...

[HayleyB]

Haha, Glutton, you'll be as bad as me. Watched Inside Out t'other night and there's a rescuer in Beds (and I've travelled twice to Coventry) anyway, seeing as she's just down the road I'll be looking out for the next rescue - actually I have emailed her but she hasn't got back yet

[Chickens4Me]

I was trying to sell my spare eggs from the garden gate and wondered why no-one was coming, then I found out a local shop was selling theres for �1 doz

[MaureenHall]

Is that �1 for a dozen free-range eggs? It's very cheap isn't it! Have you tried doing what one of the other chicken keepers on here does - put on your sign "Fresh eggs from Happy Hens" or something along those lines. Or you could even put Freshly Laid Today.
