I have a friend that made me one of the cute egg gathering aprons and I love it. However, my husband uses a basket if he's gathering eggs. He isn't a fan of the apron. ;-)

And they stack very nicely. If temp is below freezing, I line a basket with a towel, or just use my pocket. Such a shame it would be for that egg to reach the final bit of temp drop and crack on the way in from the nest!!!My best idea is the colorful WIRE baskets the Dollar Store sells.. $1 each, I have a dozen of them. If I forget, I have plenty in the coop, and my husband or someone else may collect the eggs.. I have found the baskets in the fridge with eggs, as my husband doesn't wash them so he leaves them for me to wash and then carton, but really, you can leave them in a basket and use them if you want! So I always have plenty in the coop, I can grab one to collect veggies, store my onions....I use them for a lot and so having a dozen or so is great, as like I said, I may not get them right back to the coop so there are always spares. Eventually I get them stacked back up in the coop.
$1 each people, really!! They come in all colors!! The Dollar Store, you can't beat the value. There is usually some in my entry waiting to get put back so here is a pic of the purple one. Perfect egg baskets!
So it works good....no broken eggs while doing other chores with it full of eggs??
Yeah, I made a pocket omelet once - four eggs in a fleece lined hoodie! That was when I was new to chickens, now I won't even think about putting an egg in a pocket!
Still no one using an egg carton or tray...
