How We Sell Our Chicken Eggs

We have been selling our chicken eggs for almost 3 years, and there are several things we have learned along the way. We hope the information we share will help you succeed if you choose to sell your chicken eggs. But even if you are not planning to sell your eggs, there are still some chicken tips in here that can still help you with your chickens!
Thank you for your support! It really does mean a lot.

Great video. Nice honest and uncomplicated explanation. I'm a city girl in NYC, but I'm planning on moving to California, starting a backyard farm, and adding chickens for eggs. Your simple and honest video has inspired and motivated me. Thank you.

[@jennifertyler3648]

Very informative! I'm new to chickens so I had no idea how to go about selling eggs once I start getting them. Thank you so much!!

dry feet? makes sense, would have never thought of it, thanks

[@yahushaschild2265]

Thanks for the video. We have been trying to sell eggs for about a year. Living in a small town everyone raises chickens. Your tips on using pictures of the chicken environment is something I hadn't thought of and will certainty help.

We had a bit of a bumpy start selling. But once we got a couple reliable customers we stopped advertising. We now only have 5 clients but they consistently buy large quantities so it works. I wish you luck finding the right client that works for you.

Look for a local bakery, restaurant or Hotel or a business that uses lots of egg.

[@yahushaschild2265]

@@olumideiluyomade7613A few days ago a small restaurant called us needing 75 dozen eggs a week. Currently we only have 21 hens, however we intend to have 300 egg laying hens soon and another 200 pullet chicks, this is besides rooster. To supply 1 small restaurant at 75 dozen eggs a week we need 300 hens who lay 150 eggs a year if we only get 50% eggs a year.

@@roothomestead4504 we are only advertising one site which I can't remember the name😂 however we have gotten 1 restaurant and 4 individuals from it in the past month.

I have anyone finished the video but great videos so far we just started selling eggs so far we have a few customers but nothing consistent. But the insight in this video is helpful I will continue watching thanks.

Give your birds Moringa. Egg production will increase as well as their general health. Add ACV and Garlic and you will never have Bird Flu. Moringa also adds to their increased calcium so that you don't need to use egg shells.

Do you have recipes for 16 and 20 percent layer feeds that you use?

[@roothomestead4504]

Hello thanks for asking. We stopped mixing our own feed since we found an awesome local mill. So we do not have a recipe that we have been using.

[@roothomestead4504]

FYI we have been shopping for egg cartons for a while now. The ones we have been using are almost $1 each now. This is the best deal we have been able to find. Just ordered a 250 pack. amzn.to/40UcCfZ

[@knoxurbanhomestead]

a quarter a piece for cartons? That doesn't exist

[@roothomestead4504]

Unfortunately it looks like they are up to 65 cents each now for the ones we have been buying. Dang.

[@yahushaschild2265]

Would you indicate sharing where you get your egg cartons from? I pay 79 cents each for cartons at Tractor Supply, which is very costly.

[@roothomestead4504]

I can send you the link in a bit. So you can see what we get.

[@roothomestead4504]

Actually the cartons we use are in the vid description below now that I think about it.

[@TABETHYASanchez]

Do you sell hatching eggs

[@roothomestead4504]

Not regularly. But we have done this for friends and families wanting to start a flock. We recently started a new flock of dual purpose birds (layers and meat) and are incubating about 20 eggs. Should be hatching a week from today. Thanks

Best video ever

[@deangriffin8997]

I am trying to figure out how to sell my eggs at the end of my driveway in a self serve pick up method and can't figure out about payments to me. So many do not use cash and I would not want to use paypal. What to do what to do?

[@roothomestead4504]

We use Venmo a lot. But our neighbors use a tool box that is bolted down with a drop hole on the top. Sure some take products without paying but they seem to do well enough to do it every year. We have thought about putting a mini fridge out and stocking it and let people buy them on the honor system but have not tried it yet.

[@roothomestead4504]

We used to have honor boxes out at auto stores for treats for a little biz for my kids. We noticed that people would take products then pay later. Funny enough we had less theft than expected.
