She gets chicken poop, we get vegetable seedlings. Not a bad deal, eh?Twoe -- We've considered the "Eggs for Sale" approach, but our property makes it difficult. We live on a fairly busy road, with no place to pull over and a VERY long driveway. Our barter deal for the feed is the next best thing.

But gee you have some one to sell them for you & people to come into shop! It can't get much easier than that unless you didn't get the chickens in the first place. But then look at all the garbage you would be wasting. I was going to suggest putting a “EGGS FOR SALE” sign in your yard to get rid of all the eggs.
