Ain't Nobody Here Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Oh goodie . Another excuse to wheel out the picture of my egg skelter which features on Freddie's (a forum member) egg skelter website . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 It's a wonderfully simple way to store your eggs and keep them in order so you use the oldest first ,it looks like a helter skelter for eggs. There are photos on the forum somewhere, i wish i could manage photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you must be getting some sort of commission by now? As soon as mine arrives and OH returns with the camera (forgot to pack it along with lots of other essentials) I'll post a piccie of mine. But it won't be as colourful as yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spratly0 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 have ordered a red one - can't wait - my chooks are now producing enough to warrant proper organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Are the colours shown on the website a true indication of the colour you get? Colour is notoriously difficult to represent. For example, the "poppy" looks orange to me, but someone mentioned they had ordered a red one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I would love to see some photos of the coloured ones. I am deciding between an egg skelter and a ceramic 12 egg tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I would love to see some photos of the coloured ones. I am deciding between an egg skelter and a ceramic 12 egg tray. Definitely egg skelter, much easier to determine which is the egg that needs using first! Freddie should get some sort of design award!!

iar fach goch Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 very nice! and well done - I've given up with trying to sort out the photos - daren't ask oh for help, he's busy decorating whilst I'm "researching" on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 That does look nice purple hen. Do you wash your eggs (I ask because the ones that look like the newest ones look wet) because from what I have read you aren't supposed to as when the eggs come out they have a protective bloom on them and washing eggs actually forces germs into the eggs. Hope you don't mind me mentioning it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple hen Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Very observant Yolky, normally i don't wash the eggs but just this once for the photo i gave the top 3 a wipe with some damp kitchen roll because one of the girls had pooed in the nest box and they were a bit yucky and not very photogenic.
