Selling free range eggs? How much do you charge?

I'm assuming there's a point missing there

Several people on the allotments I run sell their surplus eggs, they all seem to charge £1 per half dozen and are always sold out!

I buy them at the farm gate, walk the hens to get them for £1.20 per dozen, and duck eggs are the same.

I cant wait to get my hens now!
just saving up for an Eglu (shame i cant actually go see these, i hate 'blind' buying over the net!)
Hoping to have them by spring time-ish

Wheres the best place to by feed? (i like to be prepaired hehehe)
I spend an absolute fortune on eggs, and their is only 2 of us in this house! would gladly pay £1 for half dozen but no one near me who has chickens... my friend who has a farm got chickens last summer, and gives her eggs away, but im too far out for the delivery (normally given at school gates, but im in a different town)

just resurrecting this old post as i wonder what price people are charging these days for eggs from their free range garden hens?

Have prices gone up since this post was written?

I am charging £1 for half a dozen....does that seem ok?

i get some for free off a friend, she sometimes gives me them if i have doe a favour. If not I buy them off her for £1 a half dozen but I do think this is cheap.

I would be prepared to pay a bit more but she insists this is what she charges other people

We charge £1 per half dozen - all the egg money goes in a separate little pot and that's where the money for their feed etc. comes from (I do a big order every few months). They were never meant to make us money and at least this way we effectively get free eggs

We do give freebies to our next door neighbour though - he chucks his veg scraps over the fence for them, puts up with the occasional early morning wake-up and feeds them for us when we're away so I'd say he earns them!
