I charge 2 euros for ten eggs for the locals, and 2..50 euros for passing holiday makers, to cover any loss in the ' honesty box '
Remember that your free range will be better than Tescos free range.

I sell my hens eggs at £1 for 1/2 doz.
I don't have duck eggs, but the farm next door sells them for the same.
Hope this helps.

JulieS We sell both hen and duck eggs both for a pound a half dozen constantly being told they are too CHEAP but we are happy to cover our costs. Have been told many a time by customers that they have paid between 1.50 -2.50 for free range eggs especially duck which are very hard to get around here, [Fermanagh]

Don't size them - just mix n match sizes and type, then they can't get you to comply with regulations as you aren't 'processing' them. Also don't wash them. My really dirty ones sometimes fall into the long wet grass though ;) ;D

I do not size mine, just mixed. So some are lucky and get large ones, others medium.....luck of the draw. I charge £1 for half a dozen, but most round here sell for £1.50 half dozen. Duck eggs are usually £1.50 for six.
I was at a farmers market the other day and saw a stall selling different sizes - ranging from £1 for 6 up to £1.50. Then he had some extra large ones which were 30p each .....although to be honest they did not seem that big to me, but were selling ok.

£1.50 a half dozen and I can't keep up.
