is that a actual egg? If so I pity the poor chicken who laid that, my sex-links have laid a couple that made me flinch.

When TSC has its spring Chick Days, cartons are half off. Ask for some for Christmas, then stock up during sales. Get the hatchery emails too. They have periodic carton sales.

I was very surprised too when I took it out of the nest box. It was my largest at 182 grams. An average large egg weighs around 60 grams. This was the second egg like this I have gotten. It was an egg inside and egg and both had one yolk. In the past I got one similar at 135 grams and it was a double yolk egg with another double yolk egg inside.

In general, I find the cartons a bit pricy, but it is a gift - and getting something you would not buy yourself (like pricey egg cartons) makes it all the more special. Also, my TSC sells general pressed paper ones, but they are $0.50 a piece, which seems high, overall for a basic paper carton. I have seen paper, clear plastic, and styrofoam ones. A fun color sounds, well, fun. But, the surprise would be adding their Chicken and egg nickname to the cartons!

Pretty typical, colors and printing is gonna cost more.
I'd spring for a stamp with their logo, will last longer than few printed cartons.
