I would DEFINITELY demand a premium price for them- with an absolutely straight face. They ARE worth more. You do need to believe that yourself, though- or you are going to have a hard time getting the higher price. When ever someone says tells you they won't pay the extra price, because they are small, (but actually just because they want to get a bargain) you should smile and thank them- and tell them you're so glad they aren't buying, because now you can keep them, and eat them yourself. They're SO delicious! With such a large, tasty, yolk! Laugh them off! I’m new to guineas, but an old hand at marketing- the difference between success and failure in selling can be very small.

I have advertised in our village newsletter but I really need to put a sign up in the village so that people know where to go. The strawberries sound like they have done really well. Congratulations.

I put a notice against the hedge to sell strawberries, & put the straws on a white chair under the notice. After 4 days I had not sold one. Last night, my son put my notice on a pole on the verge, so that the notice was facing the oncoming traffic, instead of being against the hedge. He wrote on the back, so that people coming the other way could see it. Within 2 hours all the strawberries were gone & at 8am this morning I had people knocking on the door. Marketing really works!

If they do not sell, scramble them and freeze them. They will not be wasted because you can use the frozen eggs for baking etc.. If you sell them for a lower price you are undervaluing your produce, and your customers will not appreciate how special they are. Good luck TopVeg You must sell them at a high price as this will reflect the value of your unusual, speciality eggs which are fresh, from free-range happy birds.

If you sell them for a lower price you are undervaluing your produce, and your customers will not appreciate how special they are.

Good luck

I have this problem when selling my artwork. I may feel it is worth a certain price because it is original and unique and lovely to look at but I can only sell it for the price someone is willing to pay for it. Mostly then I give my paintings as presents to family and friends as they appreciate how much time and effort and experience I have put into each one. Getting back to the question of your guinea fowl eggs. They are rarer than hen's eggs and, as such, they might be considered a delicacy, and worth the extra cost.

Chicken eggs can be purchased anywhere. As you noted Guinea Fowl are not as common as chickens, their eggs are richer in taste and color. As a specialty egg they should not be compared to chicken eggs. Because they are smaller is no reason to eat three instead of two. Good luck with selling them.
