Luvachicken Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 My dad made me this to keep all my eggs in. I think it looks a bit like an eggy bunk bed - or will do when I fill it with eggs Thanks Dad xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chortle Chook Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 That's grand. I think they had ones a bit like that in Victorian times. I'd like one with holes small enough to take banty eggs. Those I have found so far are too big and my little banty eggs just go plop right through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The Egg Skelter comes in different sizes, you can get one just for Banty eggs. Check out the website http://www.egg-skelter.co.uk/index.php I got mine directly from the company but I know other places do them too but may add more money on top. Their delivery was good too, it didn't take too long at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ta-dah I'm glad you like it. My dad did make it specially for my little eggs - as like you say they do tend to fall through and break But probelm solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks for that link JanTheDiver. Alas, I do have one of these (a nice cream one bought from Omlet) but I found that my chooks' eggs don't role down when you take the bottom one so I am forever re-arranging them downwards. I have seen a sort of wooden one that looks like a seesaw but I cant' remember where I spotted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Awww it's fab! Well done Dad I agree about the Egg Skelter; fantastic idea and looks really cool but our banty eggs turn around and create a jam and you end up having to re-arrange them I ended up dropping an egg last night whilst trying to do this It's annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanTheDiver Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yeah, mine does that as well but I still like it. It's green to match the tiles in my kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm not over impressed with my Egg Skelter either, as it always has a hold up in it somewhere. Loving your Dad's craftsmanship, luvachicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvachicken Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Having read about your egg skelters I'm glad I saved my money and asked my Dad if he could come up with anything. I gave him the smallest and biggest eggs my girls had laid and he set off back to Waterlooville to make it for me. Then he gave it to me at the weekend . Mind you I had to tidy up my kitchen to find it somewhere nice to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 What a clever Dad you have. It looks lovely full of eggs. I am a egg skelter fan, I have two and the second one I got was purple Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan08 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Well done that Dad! Looks great. We have a skelter, its OK, but the best thing is knowing which are the oldest eggs without having to write on them. There are 6 of us in the house, so it isn't as straightforward trying to get everyone to take the oldest first if they arn't labelled With the skelter everyone gets it right.

Lewis Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Looks good! I have seen a sort of wooden one that looks like a seesaw but I cant' remember where I spotted it. That would be the egg rotator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I don't have one (2 egg skelters instead!) but know people who've bought them have been impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindafw Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have just asked the CDT department at school to make me a three tiered stand for my eggs...the cost? '5 fresh out of a bottom' eggs!!!!!! It may become a project for the yr 7 boys...how great is that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxigirl Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 That's really clever of your dad to make you an egg tidy. Looks really cool in the fully loaded picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 Look what I found. Lots of lovely chicken things AND an egg holder - not sure what size eggs they take though. Am I allowed to put this on here - apologies if not. http://www.artyfartydesigns.co.uk/products.asp?CODE=282 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks luvachicken those are pretty egg holders, but I'd never dare buy directly online unless they say they are for banty eggs as I feel sure that my Poland's eggs would go straight through. Dotty not only lays rather small eggs but also they are a funny bullet shape with no fat end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
