Get your eggs here!
Farm Fresh Brown Chicken Eggs — $3 dozen
White Khaki Campbell Duck Eggs — $2 1/2 dozen
(Will sell by the dozen for $3.50/dozen.)
I have 10 Golden Comet Chickens — two flocks 1- and 2-years-old — which produce about 1 egg each, each day.
I have 1 Ameraucana that lays (almost) daily — 1 small green(ish) color egg.
My chickens are never with a rooster.
I have three female Khaki Campbell ducks — 1-year-old — that produce 1 egg each, each day.
So, if you are trying to calculate — we are a small(ish) farm, I know — but still get about 14 eggs a day! That is more than an empty-nester couple can consume on its own!
Chicken eggs will be given in egg cartons, cleaned but not washed. Please see more info on this below.
Please contact me if you are interested: Sandy at 629-7123
I also will take your empty cartons off your hands!

My best resource for taking care of my chickens has been: http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/cleaning-and-storing-fresh-eggs
Here is what they say about washing eggs:
Washing the egg will take care of the dirt, but… it will also remove the natural, anti-bacterial coating on the shell, called the “bloom” making it more susceptible to bacteria and spoilage. So, if possible use a dry cleaning method, for example give the egg shell a light buff with an abrasive cleaning pad (keep a special pad in the kitchen for this purpose only). If the egg is too dirty, for example, if an egg broke in the nest box and the intact eggs have yolk and worse smeared all over them, wash the eggs under warm, running water. Cold water will cause the contents of the egg to shrink, creating a vacuum that will pull bacteria and other nasties into the egg through the porous egg shell. Warm water, on the other hand, will cause the contents to expand against the shell, preventing bacteria from entering. Do not soak eggs in the water and after washing store them in a cool place, preferably the fridge and use them before any unwashed, clean eggs. It is not necessary to use soap, bleach, vinegar or any cleaning materials when washing eggs. Warm water is enough.
