Egg Handling
Pipestone Farm Supply lists seven egg handling products for collecting, checking and storing eggs from a home flock. Collect with the Little Giant egg baskets or the Little Giant egg collecting apron, which carries eggs in pockets so both hands stay free. The Little Giant egg candler shines a light through the shell to check fertile eggs during incubation and to spot cracks in eating eggs. On the counter, the Little Giant egg skelter holds up to 36 eggs in the order they were laid, and the Tuff Stuff plastic egg tray holds a dozen. To encourage hens to lay in the nest box rather than on the floor, set out Little Giant brown ceramic nest eggs or Tuff Stuff nest eggs. Ships Canada-wide from Millet, Alberta, or pick up in store.
