How about selling them to church friends or at a local
school? I have gotten so I can't keep up with my orders
selling to both those groups of folks. People are funny,
though. I have had some odd questions, like "Will they
have chickens in them?" or "If I wait too long to eat
them, will the chickens develop?" and "I'd rather eat the
store's "sterilized" eggs." sigh.....

my 6 year old sells his eggs at school. they're not
"organic" because the organic feed costs 5x more than regular
layer pellets, but they are free range. however we only have
19 hens, & 7 of those aren't laying yet,2 are Silkies & lay
PeeWee eggs & we have no idea where Kate, the 4 year old white
Leghorn, is hiding her eggs... :)

one of our eggs customers said she found a chick in one of
her eggs, but then said it wasn't one of ours, she got it
somewhere else. heh.
right now the roosters are all in a seperate coop & pen, so
the eggs are infertile anyway... and it's *so* much easier to
get the hens to go into the coop at night.
with shorter days we'll get fewer eggs & probably not be able
to keep up with orders again unless we put a light & timer in
the henhouse..
