I always wondered if selling eggs to your neighbors violates some us laws

Why sell? Just give them free eggs!

Why get a paycheck? Just work for free!

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.

Then there's me... I'll be the guy who gorges himself to death on a couple hundred cayenne peppers he got for free

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

Likely not. There's some weird agricultural laws because of the great depression. You can mail raw vegetables through the USPS as long as they are addressed and have correct postage, for example.

If you sharpie an address on a coconut and put a stamp on it, the USPS will deliver it. They'd rather you didn't make a habit of it but they'll do it.
