What kind of egg holder do you use?

[MidlandChicks]

Hi everyone,

It’s our first time raising chickens and we got our first egg today! Yay! Dottie laid a beautiful green egg (left in attached pic - the light brown egg is fake).

We have nine other pullets that will probably start laying within the next month. I’d like to put some sort of egg holder on my counter for fresh eggs but there’s so many options. What do you use? And do you recommend it? Thanks!!

In a carton, in the fridge. I'd like a skelter, bur counter space is limited at my house.

I want an Egg Skelter, but won't pay the price...so I have two of these, on my counter. I did spray paint them black, as neon green just doesn't go with my decor . Our eggs don't roll down the chute very well, so I have to help them and make sure they don't bang into each other.

Congratulation on first egg! Paper egg cartons for me to keep and styrofoam on eggs for sale.

My husband made a egg holder out of wood for me when I'm putting them in cartons for the fridge. I use this if I have two dozen. I don't store them on the counter.

I use a plastic holder that holds 20 eggs. If you need more they can stack, but when I fill it I either bake or start filling cartons to sell or give away. It has a lid so things can't drop on top and smash them accidentally.

I have one of these plastic double stacked egg drawers (capacity 60) from Amazon as well as 2 ceramic egg trays (capacity 12) like this:

You all are so fancy. I have a white bowl if I keeping them on the counter. In the fridge, just a bin on the door.

I have a small wire basket I gather them in then they go straight in the fridge at the end of the day. Not sure if they still have them on sale but Murray McMurray has/had their real nice plastic cartons on sale with free shipping, I bought a hundred and the price came out about 21 cents each cheaper than the paper ones at Tractor Supply.

I do use a skelter, they save quite a bit of space, but it usually overfills since we have 20 chickens .
