beulah59 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I love my egg skelter - but we are about to rehome some Bantams. Can anyone tell me if the bantam eggs will fit the Egg Skelter or are they too small?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My bantam eggs are too small but saying that it depends on the size of eggs the bantams lay . My two Wyandottes have been laying for a few weeks now and some are just big enough not to fall through the gap but earlier eggs were too small and my mini silkie egg (I have only had 1 so far) is much too small. What type of bantams are you rehoming? I love my egg skelter too I was considering getting a bantam one but I already have two and OH may complain Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beulah59 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'm not sure ... a friend of mine lost her sister last year - she had hens and her widower doesn't want them so we agreed to take them on. So I know they won't be young birds, but we'll love them anyway and if we have to buy eggs, well .. so what?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimi5 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hi I have pekin bantams and recently treated myself to the egg ramp from omlet (duck egg blue ) the eggs are very secure on it and look good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I have bantams too. My dad made me an eggy bunk bed, perhaps someone could make you something similar. I posted it on here under 'Look what my dad made me' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie&Moose Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 We keep our Pekin eggs on the egg skelter with the large fowl eggs - the first few weeks of laying the Pekin eggs were a bit small and kept jamming up the skelter, but now that they're a bit bigger (about 40g) they're generally OK.
