Handy Little Tool

[416bigbore]

I found this kids toy Lacrosse stick to have a unique use over playing Lacrosse. I use it as my flock herder stick and duck egg Pick-R-Upper Tool. It's 34" long and has an angled lip on it with a soft netting and will reach down or into a hard to reach spot to retrieve duck eggs and the occasional chicken egg for when those Turkeys decide to lay their eggs in a new place other then their nesting boxes. Like way in the back on top of the wheat straw bales that I have stacked in their coop for bedding.

IMO, The best part of this handy little tool is, it takes the pain out of having to bend down to pick up eggs.

Necessity is the mother of invention - multi tasking/purposing. Well done.

@sourland Thank you, it was by sheer luck that it worked out so well. The best part of that handy little stick is, I have an other red one as a spare.

Wow, what a great idea, an egg scooper! Definitely easier on the back!

I have even scooped up four eggs at once from a little straw nest that our ducks have all been using. LOL

Wow that's pretty good! Are they scared of it? My birds run when I carry strange long handled things. Holy terror strikes when the ladder comes out.

@TwoCrows No not at all, because it was something I had been using for a little herder stick until I figured out it had multi uses.

That's awesome! I created my own little chicken gathering tools. My kids take a dead sprint out each day to go look for eggs. Boom, no bending over picking them up for me
