stehaggan Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Ok so I am going to be getting my hens this weekend (6 of them) so I should hopefully start getting lots of nice eggs in the weeks that follow. I am trying to get prepared now, so I have got pencils at the ready and have ordered 2 plastic 30 egg trays off ebay (in case i need to store some). I have designed some funky stickers to go on egg boxes for when i give them out/sell to friends and family so I was just wondering where people buy their egg boxes from and if anyone can recommend some? I am also contemplating an egg skelter for my kitchen and have ordered some egg poachers so im really getting ready for this, i need to order some egg boxes now so any ideas will be appreciated. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I get mine of freinds. Most of the online poultry suppliers sell them. We have five chickens but its very rare they all lay on the same day, I find we have enough eggs for us and only give some away occasionally.

Aimee Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I decided to start off buy buying some of the 4 egg boxes from Omlet when I was placing an order from them anyway (20 for £4.05) and I figured 4 eggs were better to give away than 6 The best price I could find elsewhere for 4 egg boxes was on ebay: £7.20+£3.00 p+p for 40, down to £1.80+£1.65 p+p for 10. Think the seller was called something like riverside cottages. They also do 6 egg boxes at similar prices. Different coloured ones available. Other than that, family and friends have been collecting boxes for me. My egg skelter arrived yesterday - I couldn't resist Like the quality and look of it. Good timing too as we had our first egg today! Hope you sort the boxes soon - if anyone has sourced them cheaper it would be good to know.
