What do you gather eggs in?! Pics?

I have a metal golf basket, but I'm not sure if I like it though. ;D

I use a wicker basket most of the time. When it's full, or I have forgotten to take it out, they usually end up in the feed bucket, or shirt, or whatever they all fit in...

If it's thicker gauge metal you could have it sand blasted and powder coated for prob $20

I went to Michaels and got a wire basket on sale for $4.99. It's big enough for 25 eggs (I have 45 hens) and I put a cloth on the bottom to protect the eggs from chipping and the wire keeps them from rolling. I prefer the wire as eggs can be dirty sometimes and the wicker basket I tried wouldn't clean as well as metal.

I put eggs in my jacket pockets.. Sometimes, if I forget, it can get messy.. lol

I've done that too! LOL, the pockets of a few coats have a yellow tint...

Welcome to BYC

.. I always love when I see someone with single digit posts. More peeps!



I use one of those fancy housewarming baskets I got from a friend. The Easter Egg pretend paper grass makes a great cushion!

Hi Jomini! Those are my egg holders. Glad you like 'em. I actually have quite a collection of egg "baskets", lol. I collect them the way most women collect shoes. ~ karen!

I think I will splurge and buy a wire basket..I'm a newbie to... I like the round ones. Mine aren't laying yet but I will start looking now. I just think the wire baskets are nostalgic.. Although I remember my grandmother using her apron...i think my husband would laugh at me if he saw me with an apron on... but I'm sure if she had a cute wire basket she would have loved it. I'm also looking at ways to display my eggs on my table. Saw a cute DIY display board I'm going to make.

look at the egg skelter for counter display of your eggs

My wife got me this when I asked for something to gather eggs. Haven't gotten to use it yet because my oldest are only 8 weeks or so. It's huge.

Very nice basket. Can you ask your wife where she bought it?
