My first egg arrived about a month ago; I now have 9 out of 10 hens laying (hurry up, Buffy!!); they are 28 weeks old. We have enough eggs now that I'm giving some away to friends and family. I don't think I'll ever have the quantities or the inclination to really sell them, but I wanted nice packaging for them, nonetheless. That's how I roll.
I bought some of these: http://www.eggcartons.com/Sodesa-6-Egg-Margarita-Carton/productinfo/PLEG-6M/ (A great bargain, but I have no idea where I'm going to store them. 200 is a LOT.), and decided to use my friend's plush toy design, Heedley, as my mascot. For more on Heedley and how we made an 8-foot version of him for the run, click here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=6382386
I don't have the proper round labels yet, so I printed on larger labels and cut them out by hand. They are, alas, imperfect.
So here is my new packaging, and a shot of how the eggs look inside, each one with the name of the hen who laid it written in pencil. I have really got to get a life, because this stuff makes me so dang HAPPY. My fiance is starting to worry, I think...
