Ok time for some fun all. Let see you egg baskets or what ever you use to collect eggs in. Also you can tell us how many a day you collect if you wish.

There is a reason behind this as I am thinking about what to use when they start laying. I have 22 pullets right now.
 
Here is my egg basket. It's old but it works. Its been repaired a few times.

Sometimes I cheat and carry eggs into the house cradled in the bottom of my skirt that I fold up.

Usually I carry them in my old egg basket. Well used and well loved. Right now we are getting about 3 dozen eggs a day-most are pullet eggs.

This is fun!
 
These are my multi purpose egg collection and chicken catching devices...they work great and I never have to do it myself.

. Honestly I think they take a little plastic Easter Basket type thing down.

Sadly, we're getting so few right now (less than half a dozen) that I carry them inside in my shirt, or in my hat. I don't have a proper egg basket, so I've always used whatever is available - egg cartons, coat pockets, buckets, bowls - whatever is nearby.

I did break an egg inside my husband's coat pocket once. He wasn't thrilled.

Since my two laying hens are alternating which day they lay, we use a hand to bring in the banty eggs.

I'm envious of those that need a basket.

Thanks for sharing what's used.
