Egg Baskets

[Break an Egg]

I was looking up some egg baskets, because I just wanted to see what was out there. Some of those things are way over priced.

I got my first egg today from one of my EE's, I had to go and get a basket to place it in. I went to the dollar tree and got a pink metal wire basket for a dollar. And they had plenty of woven baskets there for the same price.

Just giving everyone a heads up.

I use an old enamel was basin. Works well for me. It gets washed every day! I also use it to gather produce from the garden. It gets used alot!!

I just use an empty horse supplement bucket (10lb size) with clean pine shavings in the bottom of it for my egg gathering. Keeps them from breaking and was CHEEEEEP!

I thought all day of what I could use, and came up with nothing, plus I had seen the basket and restrained myself when I should have just bought it, so I guess it was meant to be.

I have a woven basket that I bought for $2.99 at Goodwill.

I love goodwill!!!!!!! It's great to be thrifty, but lately, if they get something that is actually nice, they are not afraid to ask too much for it.

I love garage sales and the flea markets too.

Once we saw a very old egg basket, and it was bright yellow at a antique shop selling for $40.00! I really wanted it, but assured myself that the Co-op or at least the Berry Hill store would have the same thing for less...

Well we had to make a trip to Berry Hill 3 hours away to get chicken supplies as its the only place to get most things, and they had them in blue for $15.00

I was pleased, and bought two...one to stay at the house and one to hang in the human area of the coop, will never forget a basket this way!

Found a wonderful egg basket (metal) at at yard sale for $6. Cute and old-fashioned....I feel like my grandma when I go to gather eggs!

so was it really an antique?

I love to find stuff from other countries, I really don't care too much for how old it is.

Everything has history. The next thing I want to get in a kachina doll, I think that's how you spell it.

Sometimes it's nice to feel like a grandma though, my grandma kept chickens too.
