We did this as a family project and this is what we came up with! This will hang from our gatepost at the end of the driveway for self serve.

I ask $3 for mine and get it pretty easily. I am in a pretty isolated area and I have a friend that takes my eggs to a ladies Bible study group and sells them for $3 and I let her keep $1 of each carton she sells. If the yolks have that nice rich color from free ranging hens that is what people like and will pay for. Other than the Bible study group I sell them here and there depending on where I am going if I go to town. But I don't go to town very often, and one must be careful about putting up signs at your house, don't open the door to any weirdos. We live pretty far out and it creeps me out when strangers pull up. What is good is to get standing orders and have them ready for folks at a certain time each week. It might help to add a phone number to your sign then people wont show up unexpected as much. They can call first :)

Love it. Was wondering what to price my eggs. I think $2 is fair. :)

Nice sign, I sell eggs for $4/dozen, always have and have always sold out! Don't sell yourself short, your hens work hard to give you those eggs and you have to care for them.

Great sign. Wish I lived closer, I'd stop by the a few dozen.

As I mentioned on FB Brandee, I'm a big fan of your sign! I may just borrow the idea for a duck version for my own eggs!
I especially love the sign panels hanging on the links-- It's so simple to do a price change or add new products to the sign.
Since cartons are so expensive... have you thought about offering a 25 cent credit for good cartons from your customers? Even if you give away a free dozen once in a while you'd still come out ahead on the cartons to my way of thinking.

I am gonna try for $2 i have seen them as low as $1 in my area. I really wont sell them for that as the cartons new are .49¢, i would rather feed the eggs back to the animals if i was only gonna get .51¢ for the eggs. I know some people that ask $4 for theirs around here but i dont know if they are getting it. Thanks everyone we had fun making it!

Good Luck! Hope you sell lots of eggs! Seems perhaps you could get a little more $$ per dozen? Or is that the going rate in your area?
Nice job!
Hugs.
