Fridge egg storage?

[Susan Skylark]

Our ladies have finally ramped up the egg production, getting 10 more or less normal eggs a day (fewer double yolk, fairy, and softshell). I was just throwing them in a chicken egg carton but now we are outgrowing an 18 holer. How do you efficiently store your quail eating eggs?

You can buy specific quail egg holders or egg cartons.

I got some shipped eggs in one of those plastic cartons and 5/15 were crushed. I also tried putting eggs in it afterwards and cracked the larger ones (without mailing them!) so wasn’t too impressed and just tossed the thing. I was wondering about some sort of box/bowl/basket system? We’re pretty low tech around here! Thanks!

Before I got the egg cartons I really just kept a plastic bowl in my fridge and put them in it

That’s what I will probably do, just wondering if anybody has an ingenious storage method

I buy the jumbo quail egg cartons for the eggs I sell and they have worked well. But this from amazon is very similar to what I made from some wood scraps I had on hand.

My bf got me this from Amazon, it's pretty cute! They kind of roll around but in rows so it's not too bad.

I got 25 plastic clamshell type holders and 2 pairs of scissors from Amazon for $15.99, looks like they still have it

I like this style as opposed to a big bowl or something they can move around in, because I like to cycle eggs through where I organize them from freshest/that day’s eggs and putting the oldest ones towards the hinge side of the package, so I know which to eat first.

I use these. Each one fits about one day of eggs (3 dozen or so) and this way I rotate them to know which ones are the oldest to be used first.

You can get them at the dollar store, amazon, etc.
