Hi all. I am new to posting but have been a reader for a while. We have 4 hens, but only 3 are laying. Anyway, I wanted a way of rotating the eggs and came up with this device which I thought I'd share here. I started with two white metal poles. These (and more of the same) were salvaged from the side of the road where someone was throwing them out. I think they are from a gazebo or something. I snagged them to use as plant supports, which is exactly what we used some of them for last summer.
These particular pieces are each 67cm / 26.5 inches long.
DH cut me two little pieces of moulding. Any shape of wood would do but this is what we had.
I painted the moulding, then hot glued one piece on top of the poles like this:
And the other underneath like this:
Voila, an egg slide! Take eggs from the right, and they all roll down. Place fresh eggs on the left. This ensures that all of the eggs are used in order. Plus I like how it looks sitting on the counter. If it becomes too full then I have a baking day
