Was just curious, what do you use to collect your eggs in?
Please post a photo of your egg basket/bucket.
I learned from experience to never carry eggs in my jacket pocket or similiar location. Over the years I have used everything possible. From peck garden baskets , buckets and milk jugs with a hole cut in them. Last year we were at a Dollar Tree and found these coated wire baskets. We now have them in several colors so the children each have their own. Heaven forbid someone should use the wrong basket. Jacob's is green; Nicole's is light blue; and Danyelle's is red/pink. The rest of us "borrow" theirs when we are gathering eggs.
We place a folded paper towl in the bottom of each basket and a short pencil. These remain in the basket at all times. The baskets are near our backdoor, so the kids can remember to take the basket with them. (Works most of the time). The pencil is for marking the breed/variety on the egg.
These are available at Dollar tree or online at
