    Why sell? Just give them free eggs!

        Chickens lay a shit ton of eggs, up to one a day each if they’re mature and well fed. Even with a small flock it’s easy to run out of room in the fridge. You have to get rid of them somehow - so why not give what you can’t use to the neighbors? It’s not at all uncommon, I’ve been on both sides of this “transaction” hundreds of times.

          As a vegetable gardener that is occasionally snowed under with tomatoes or peppers, I’d love a neighbor with chickens who would occasionally trade a couple dozen eggs for a couple hundred cayenne peppers or something.

          I don’t know anyone with chickens that stores the eggs in the fridge.

          Edit: spelling

            Now you do, nice to meet ya lol. Of course when I ran out of room in the fridge I’d leave some on the countertop. The fridge is just a more convenient place for me, plus if anything they’ll keep longer in there, which is more important when you have a queue of 6 dozen eggs because your hens won’t chill out
