    Share your egg management tips!

    So for me it's a quick rinse then wipe off with some paper towel then into the fridge we are having weird temperature fluctuations at the moment so that's my option, I think if it wasn't for that I'd probably just take them in put in an egg tray on the counter and be happy to leave it like that.

    Nest box and roosts
