Nicola H Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 That was a big egg Mrs White, hope it turns out to be a double yolker like Gingers, I bet the lid on the egg box won't shut............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 We were given a lovely crock egg tray yesterday for Easter - no lid!! It holds a dozen eggs and we have nine in it just from 2 days! I closed the lid on the big double yolker that Tallulah laid so I'm not doing that again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted March 28, 2005 Author Share Posted March 28, 2005 Whoops !!!!!! I am looking for a crock egg holder but have't found one I like yet. I have an alessi egg holder in blue but it only holds 4 eggs, the good thing about it is that you can submerge it in water and boil the eggs then lift them all out still in the stand........

Mrs Frugal Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 You should see mine, Nicola. It holds 30 eggs - shame it's cardboard though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherhen Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 I'm surprised the omlet guys haven't come up with a ceramic egg tray for us all to buy. Do you know where your's came from Lesley? Love the new piccy by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Carl just found the packaging - it's a ceramic egg tray from Matalan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motherhen Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 thanks - I would never have thought to try there - and hopefully being Matalan it won't cost a fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 We've been using plastic ones with a lid but this one looks nicer! I had to write the dates on the bottom today instead of the top so that they all looked nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Wow Lesley that is some egg, Bettys fourth egg is 67g she has got some catching up to do but not if she gets a prolapse I think I can live with little eggs I have industrial sized vaseline at home I think I need to get some gloves just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Louise - Mrs.W's eggs are usually around 65/67g. She has laid today as well! I thought she might take a day off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 I am only getting eggs every other day at the moment so I should have one tonight Lesley. I hope they do stay at around the 65g size as this is a good size egg without giving the potential problems associated with the really big ones I am also hoping production steps up a bit as some of my friends are now looking to try the eggs and I have only had 4 so far I am sure I will soon have so many eggs I won't know what to do with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Production will step up soon Louise, you are right you will have enough to give to friends. Even though Bunty is broody and not laying at the moment I have 12 eggs, I think I will be baking this afternoon................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Well I have 2 sitting in the rack and I am definitely keeping the big one but I meet up with my pals on the 9th so I need another 3 by then fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 We barely have enough eggs to eat ourselves yet but, feeling generous, & being Easter, I intended to take an Omlet pack of 4 to sis in Leeds on Monday...she's wanted hens longer than me but hasn't any, & I knew she'd appreciate & use them. But, going to sis-in- laws on Sunday, thought I'd like to take them some too...decided that the remaining 2 that we had would do, along with the usual basket of chocolate & flowers. What actually happened was that sis-in-law partner teased me all day for only sparing 2 (wish I hadn't taken any) & didn't even tell him it was cos my sis was getting 4! Then, of course, forgot to take pack of 4 to Leeds (meant to pick up at last min...couldn't really put in suitcase). So, all day, my OH dropped mean comments into conversation..."well, if you had some eggs..." etc... Still, off to make scrambled eggs for lunch now, since I have enough. yippee! Congrats on the whoppers posted here...amazing...Chuckles' are tiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrat Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Hi, My two are laying regularly now which is great. We are getting a large egg (95g, double yolk) about once a week from Geraldine who is the smaller of the two. Today was a surprise though, Geraldine did her early morning egg at 8am and Flo later about midday. We got a third egg at 3pm!!!!! How is this possible, I thought they only laid every 24 or so hours? In case you are wondering I made a careful check earlier in the day, so one of them has definatly laid twice (both normal size, about 60g). My guess is that it was Geraldine, could this be like having twins? Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 It did happen to one of ours - I think it was Lottie, topic called 'Lots of Eggs' She did it for a couple of days and then settled down again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
