KateC Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have been toying with getting one of these for some time as three of my girls are now laying. They are all hybrids and at the moment the eggs are quite small but I hope they will get a bit bigger in time. I am now wondering which size egg skelter would be best to get, the small/medium or medium/large? Anyone else got one? Thanks for your advice. So chuffed the girls are laying that I want to display their eggs for all to see!! Wouldn't have thought eggs would be so exciting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenW Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 HI Are your girls large fowl hybrids or bantys? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixie chick Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I got the medium large one - my girls are all large pure breeds. I love the way it keeps the eggs organised age-wise ....looks pretty cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateC Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have one goldline, one blacktail and two bovan neras. The blacktail is the smallest of the lot although she was the first to lay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henergy Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have a medium / large one in the cream and it suits all 'normal' shop size eggs. The small size is for bantam eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Mrs Chicken Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I got the small/medium cream one,i didnt know which one to get either as some of my hens eggs are big and some are small.The large eggs get stuck so i wish i bought the larger one.

KateC Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Thanks for all your advice. I think I will go for the larger version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaKiw1 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 The larger is best. We have hybrids and our original girls laid eggs of between 60g and 80g and these fitted well - though don't roll but we just move them manually down. Our new chooks have just started laying and the first one 0f 35g was too small and would have slipped trough the gap but their latest 45g efforts are just big enough (and they do roll!)

chestnutmare Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I have three hybrids. I exchanged my skelter from a medium-large to a small-medium as the every egg was getting stuck on the larger skelter. Now though it's just the occasional egg.
