I guess what I meant is that there's no good way to store them on the counter top without knowing which eggs are older than others, I like the skelter so I know to eat the oldest ones on the bottom first

I wonder if ghee would work for you. It's clarified butter.

Ghee would be alot better for them than plain butter !
Ghee gets ALL the whey out.

We don't have nest boxes; ours just lay wherever they feel like it along the perimeter of the fence. I don't bother them while they're laying, but if I do happen to come near they hiss like crazy and make all kinds of sounds like they're possessed by a demon or something!

No nest boxes ?
laying in the dirt ?
Poor babies.....it can really bother a hen to get in the 'zone' and lay an egg right out in the open.
They like to be in a snuggly protective situation.
I had one years ago that screamed at me until I lifted the washing machine lid, and in she'd go to lay her egg, everyday...that was her spot and she walked all the way around to the back porch to do the deed, safe & snug.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these locally for cheaper than this? I really want an egg skelter so I don't have to refrigerate my own eggs. I just LOVE these ones!!

I also like this one a lot, seems a bit nicer? Don't know if it's the same company but the spiral looks longer.

But that one is still $64.58 total with shipping.

It looks like the same one to me - my guess is it is the "cornflower blue" one. They just photographed it at a different angle. I think people are getting ahold of them from England and listing them on ebay at high prices. I'd wait until the Egg Skelter people get them into the US. The egg skelter people make them in 8 colors.

Manna Pro Poultry is the U.S. distributor of them. I can't see the website though - my virus software says their website is not safe.

Maybe I have my security settings to high... don't know. But, Manna Pro Poultry is supposed to carry them in all 8 colors - so you should be able to get your blue.
