You buy hens that are about to start laying (point-of-lay), feed and care for them, collect eggs daily and sell them by the tray.
Who buys

The steps to your first regular buyers
- Check your by-laws.
- Build or buy a safe coop.
- Buy point-of-lay hens and good layer feed.
- Sell trays to regular buyers at a fair price.
