I do it all the time, I've never broken an egg, but wonderful DH. Oh that's another story. Every single time he puts an egg in his pocket he breaks it/them.
I often pocket my eggs and have only ever had on mishap. I have breeding stations/pens so I seperate them by pocket until I get back to the building where they are then marked and put in proper cartons for various reasons.
I have a bad habit of putting eggs in my pockets, especially when you find one laid somewhere you missed. Am I really going to run back to the house to get a basket, no. I am going to put it in my pocket.
WORD OF WARNING: don't visit the pigs after you have put an egg in your pocket. Next thing you know you have a huge black pig trying to root up your jacket and shirt while you are trying to get the water filled. Anyone know what a wet snout feels like on your bare side, gross that is what.
I have put eggs in my pocket. I put them there because I needed my hands to be free at that moment. I have done it more than once. I have never broken one.
oooo! I do it every day! Sometimes I forget they're in there for a day or two. Worst that's ever happened is I sent them through the wash. Didnt know I did that till I found the egg shell, minus the insides! Then I made the connection... egg shell.... :: Aaaa! JACKET!
