how do you store your eggs

[BAMACK2]

I would like to know how everyone store their eggs after they collect them and also I have one of my young group that is eating eggs how do I stop that

If I'm collecting them for eating; clean eggs go straight in the fridge in an egg carton. They get used up pretty fast, or I give them to a friend or relative within a week.

If I'm storing them for incubating; clean eggs go into an egg carton stored out of direct sunlight in a cold room, and get tilted once a day. I only store them for up to 10 days b4 incubating.

Dirty eggs; get cooked and fed to my dogs.


If your birds are eating the eggs make sure they have enough protein in their diet and also free access to oyster shell. Have you actually seen them eat the eggs? Or is it possible a snake or something else could be getting into the coop and eating them?

I had an egg eating problem a while back. I used some suggestions I probably inherited from BYC. I blew out 2 eggs and sealed them with candle wax, then filled with dishwashing liquid and sealed the other hole. Then I put them in the nest with a few wooden eggs........they can't eat those for sure. Well I think my problem is solved and I have a hen setting in the crime scene.
