How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] a bit OT: painted eggs

Thanks Laura, I think $10 is about the lowest I would be willing to go. They take a fair bit of time and work. Glad you think I could probably get that much for them.

I have varnish I could use on them, but I was going for a more natural look. I'll have to consider trying the varnish on at least some of them.

            I would think it would depend on where you are. Different areas of the country dictate prices at farmer's markets, flea markets, craft fairs, etc.

            I would be tempted to hang it from a pretty ribbon or even a clear filament (fishing line) and spray it with a polyurethane to protect it and sell them as ornaments.

            I think you could easily get $10 ………bantam eggs would be adorable, too. I have turkey eggs…….you have given me an idea but I am not an artist so I will probably use a decal of some sort.

            Very cute!
