What would you pay for a dozen free-range chicken eggs?

I sell to friends for $3/dz. but my DH constantly nags me that that is not enough and it should definitely be at least $4/dz. I cannot be that mercenary with my friends, though. If I were selling them to others, I would at least charge $4/dz. i know they would be significantly more in a store for free-range and Omega3 boosted eggs.

We have some at home for $4 a dozen.  They are truly free-range.  We are given the option of washed or not-washed.   There is another person in the area that sells free-range eggs, but he's been doing it awhile and chickens/space has gone up and they don't have as much elbow room and the taste has gone down.   I suspect less bugs in their diet.   I want chickens too.   There is a neighbor with chickens.  When we first moved in, he had a sign on eggs for sale.  Then winter he took the sign down and never put it up again.  I find it amusing that I sometimes have to watch for chickens on the road to our house.  

 

For people that have chickens, you can break open the eggs in muffin tins and then freeze them.   This helps to even out the supply.  it would annoying to be feeding chickens in the winter AND buying eggs at the store.
