How many egg cartons ya got in your stash?

[nuthatched]

Eggs cartons are amazing little containers, but for the poultry owner, they can be hard to get obtain.
We really on friends, neighbors, colleagues for cartons but sometimes our sources run dry.
So we hoard them in the back of the laundry room.

I am fortunate that the food pantry that I donate my excess eggs to, Agape Help House in Pacific, Missouri, provides me any egg cartons I need.

Co worker friends and family have helped keep me in cartons.. I have more than I know in my storage building. Two big boxes. *whispers* on is a vacuum box*

Friends, neighbors and people who buy eggs from me return their cartons and donate their grocery store cartons during the winter when my girls are taking their cold weather vacation.

Anyone who gets eggs from me gets a printout that explains about the possibility of bacteria on used cartons and the need to wash eggs before use (because I don't wash the
eggs before sale), but no one seems overly concerned. In today's world, a used egg carton doesn't seem too threatening, I guess.

I store eggs for my own use in reusable hard plastic cartons I can wash.

I just started a batch of preserving eggs in lime using glass jars. I'm hoping this works and I'll have eggs this winter when the ladies are resting!

2 dozen. Half are in use plus a basket and a rubbermaid/tupperware thing and a few just rolling around the counter.

I had a stack of the cardboard 30 count trays, and when I sold eggs to the neighbor and her family I asked that they please return the trays.. Think they did it? Now I'm down to one tray, a deviled egg tray and lots of buckets of eggs. NTM those I popped in the incubator.

Why do people have such a hard time returning egg cartons?

I hoard them

at least a 100, friends bring us some, too. We don't keep our eggs in cartons, though.
