Current guide prices. The quote confirms readiness, bird supply and all selected costs. Processing and delivery are separate.
Plan the ongoing costs
Budget for pen rent, layer feed, water, cleaning and any team care. You can provide some equipment yourself. The builder separates selected setup costs from the supplies and care you will need to keep topping up.
Follow real eggs and real stock
The journal records eggs collected from the nests, eggs handed over and eggs discarded. Unallocated stock is available for new requests; quantities already committed to a request cannot be promised twice. Physical freshness and condition are checked before packing.
Collect, request delivery or arrange a sale
Request individual egg quantities and a preferred date. The team confirms packing, collection or a suitable delivery service. For sales, review the actual buyer price, agreed fees and expected payout before accepting.
Good to know before you start.
Will every hen lay an egg every day?
No daily egg count is guaranteed. Output varies with the birds, their age, health and care. Your dashboard shows recorded eggs rather than predicted income.
Can I collect some and sell the rest?
Yes. Make separate requests for quantities available in your flock journal. Each request has its own agreed arrangements and history.
Are these automatically free-range or organic eggs?
No. A rented pen does not establish those classifications. Any egg description and packing information must match the actual production system and applicable requirements.
