Pink Ladies Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I need a way of remembering which eggs to eat first and wondered if you can write the date on the shell in pencil. Does anyone else do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Lou Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I do name, date and weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I do name, date and weight Me too....it gets worse... ...I have a spreadsheet I enter all the eggs into and it tells me average egg size and biggest egg size for each girl, and how many they've laid....it also tells me the price per egg based on the initial purchase price of the Eglu - I'd got it down to 51p but then bought the Cube so it's shot back up to about £1.75 per egg!!

Pink Ladies Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well we do have a spreadsheet but we don't weigh the eggs. We just enter who has laid and work out the avarage cost. My husband loves to enter the out-goings to take the average price back up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this basis my 16 eggs so far have cost about £53 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbokbok Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 For keeping them in the right eating order, I haven't come across a better investment than an Egg Skelter! I didn't think I would be too pre-occupied with recording statistics of the egg-laying but now you have all mentioned SPREADSHEETS!!!! I may have to organise myself one of them!! (I don't have the chickens yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egg Lou Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I do name, date and weight And me! With spreadsheet! Hmm.. yup I do this too but thought it was to early in the thread to confess to it sure the novelty will wear off and do also want an eggskelter as think they are fab but haven't been able to justify it so far.. think it may have to be a birthday request!

Gamebird Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I now know which chickens lays which egg. I mark each egg in pencil with the name of the chicken and the date it was laid. I also have a monthly spreadsheet detailing each chicken and how many they have laid, what weight etc. Each chicken is colour coded so I now have a colourful monthly pattern off egg laying. I thought I would stop doing this when the novelty wore off but I can't seem to give it up. I think I am addicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Another sad spreadsheeter here . Date, weight, average weight, max weight, eggs per month, eggs per year, running total and a pretty bar chart . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I feel a spreadsheet coming on, complete with graphs (I've recorded every egg weight and laid by in a diary so it shouldn't be too difficult to do this retrospectively) OH will think I'm mad (OK madder!!)

peepie Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Me too. name, date and weight. I don't think DH could understand my wrath when he boiled 2 of that days eggs without letting me weigh them first. He should have used the older ones anyway but then again they're all so fresh it didn't really matter but now I have a gap in my spread sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
