egg skelter
12 May 2008 by colouritgreen
Another new toy and yes this one was a bit indulgent.. but the egg skelter is so cool, it had to be done.
What a good idea - the eggs are arranged in the order they were laid.. so you eat them in the right order..
take the bottom egg and the rest all roll down; it’s nice to look at useful and attractive, and if that was not enough, its locally made here in Devon!
I really hope they are successful with this product.. but not so successful that they lose that friendly touch, like the hand written label warning not to roll the eggs from the very top !
Of course my hens celebrated by laying a teeny egg (thats the cream legbar since it’s blueish) that could not possibly fit…. typical!
I’m going to add Egg Skelter to my birthday list - (along with the Self sufficientish Bible) - we got our first hens on Friday, including 4 point of lay brown ones but the man on the market said we’d have to wait about 2 weeks for our first eggs (which I expect might be too small to fit on the Skelter).
(And you’ve also got the same bread-bin as me!!)
congrats on the hens- I was just reading about them on your blog. you might get some little eggs.. but some of our first ones were double yolkers - they would still not fit!
(good taste you have in bread bins!)
