Sold Out!

With an increased number of chickens in our chicken flock, we have the predictable problem of having an increase in egg production. Most days we get at least 4 eggs, but some days we get 5 and as exciting as this is, I don't love eggs that much and can't eat 25+ eggs a week.

So last weekend, while looking at my collection of 24 eggs and contemplating what to do with them and the ones waiting for me in the hen box, I had a brainstorm. SELL THE EGGS!

I do occasionally give my eggs to our very nice neighbours who can get £2 for half a dozen at their work. (City folk go crazy for things from the country) However this was a Saturday morning and Monday was a long way away. So I thought, why not be one of those people who puts up a nice home made sign that says "eggs for sale", and see what happens.

And what happened was I sat at my kitchen table all morning and waited for people to pull over and buy my eggs. AND THEY DID!



Let me tell you, I don't think there is anything more satisfying than people buying stuff you made.(I know, I didn't actually MAKE the eggs, but they did come from my hard work and TLC) I think the chickens grazing in the grass right next to the sign helped.

(You can tell from this sign I haven't quite mastered writing the £ sign but I feel it gives it a nice home made maybe a 5 year old wrote this sign look)
