Show me your countertop egg holders and where you got them would be a bonus! Thanks!

I got this inexpensive plastic skelter on Ebay. You snap it together and I made mine shorter as I only have 3 hens. When more start laying, I'll add more sections...

Thanks! I've hear with the metal frame skelters that eggs don't slide down on their own when you take one from the bottom. Do you have to push the eggs down a little or do they go on their own?

You do not have to push them, they roll easily. These are chicken eggs, large ones. I wouldn't know about duck eggs.

I add to the green bucket all week and take from the red. By the end of the week I transfer all to the red and begin again. It ensures the older eggs generally get used first.

i just pencil the date on them on the day they were laid... then i store them in the fridge in the correct order, but just b4 i use them i have trained my family to CHECK THE DATES... or they start selling the ones that were laid just abt an hr previous - not that i mind, but i just like to get rid of the oldest ones first (only abt a day or 2 old!!)...
