Yeah, this bums me out a lot too, but I can't get any more than $2.00 a dozen out of mine because there's somebody down the road who sells for a $1.00.  With feed prices continually going up, I think that's just insanity to raise chickens and GIVE your eggs away.  At $2.00 a dozen, I only make $10 profit to cover my time and effort.  Heaven forbid I have to buy cartons.  At least it pays for the feed and my own eggs are "on the house".

The folks at our farmers market sell theirs for $2.50, but their eggs are jumbo and very consistent in size, whereas mine are not, so $2.00 is fair enough I guess.  I had to raise the price from last year ($2.00/18 ct.) and only lost one customer.  I sell about 14 dozen eggs a week.

I've been paying $12.79 for 50 lb. layer pellets at Tractor Supply.  I used to get it for about $9 at a family-run feed store, but they went out of business recently.  I bought the crumbles for about $9 at another feed and seed for awhile, but the girls burned through those so fast and spilled and wasted a lot of it (even with my hanging feeder), so I didn't come out ahead on that.  There's a couple other places I could try, but they're a little farther out of my way.  :P

I'm going to try to grow more for the chickens this year and I already pasture them, trying to get my feed costs down a little!
