What to charge
« on: May 11, 2012, 02:29:02 pm »
We have some very rare breed Dutch Brabanter chickens and have been contacted by someone interested in buying some eggs. How much would be a reasonable price a dozen?

Hi, I looked on e-bay to get a rough idea. I sell my Scots Grey hatching eggs for £10 posted.  Dutch Brabanters sound a bit more exotic so perhaps people would pay more.

We paid 50p an egg for Welsummers, so a bit more than that I would think.

Thanks for the replies. He has offered £25.00 for a dozen and then there would be special/recorded delivery to cover as well.

Round here rarer breed hatching eggs are £2-£3 each. Guess £25 is reasonable plus postage.
