Eggs popping out everywhere!

So many eggs, so little time!

That is awesome! What is the purpose of dating them though?

It is dual purpose, as it lets me know which eggs are the freshest for selling or consuming. They are also labled with a letter which corresponds to the name of the bird. Then they get charted by the day.

Wish I was that organized!!! We just have a big(Huge, really) bowl in the fridge and I rotate them when I sell them. The ones on the bottom go first. One customer takes 3 dozen every 2 weeks or less. But I still have a ton of eggs - we are getting 16 a day now!!

i wish i had that many eggs i get 2 or 3 a day and i use them for hatching and im not even that organized, you think i would be because of the hatching and records but no!!

Okay, so this might be a silly question, but how do you know which bird laid each egg?
I have seven birds laying three eggs a day and I don't even know who's laying already and who hasn't started yet!

You are the most organized person I have ever met. LOL

I know who did what because I have a monitor pointing at them, and right now I'm watching Klessey our white Plymouth Rock give us a beautiful pinkish brown egg!

I wash and place eggs in egg cartons daily, easier to rotate a whole dozen on refrigerator shelf than individually yes?

I would love to have time, and spy equipment, to see who lays what and where. My girls are all too modest and I'm too poor.
I get around 11 to 12 eggs daily from 13 hens.

I don't keep them in cartons. I use 24 count mini muffin tins and stack them 3 tall. 72 eggs in less space than 36 in cartons. Just move them up as you take them, as this let's me play with all those gorgeous eggs!
