I recently received this egg basket from the guys at our local feed store: Egg basket ( photo / image / picture from marlingardener's Garden ) With such an attractive basket as an early Easter present, the ladies are trying to fill it with large eggs. They are still keeping with the brown color, though--no green or blue eggs from my girls!
Another half dozen and your basket will be full. Who cares what colour they are as long as they taste lovely. :-D
Nice Jane. I use a longaberger (sp?) basket and the bottom is starting to go bad, so now I will recycle it into a planter this spring. I need to look for another one, something with a swinging handle and holds at least 3 dzn eggs. I do like that basket, though. it would look great with green eggs for the season, huh?
Now that looks like a well made strong basket,..i like it,..oh and the eggs as well,..nice present from nice people.
I am very fortunate to have such a great feed store with such nice staff in the little town near us. The guys have helped me with questions a "new" poultry owner has, and have never laughed in my face about some of my questions (after I leave, who knows?). They open early, and stay open late, and are always ready with suggestions and ideas.
