Egg company sees 718% profit surge as prices soar
Lando Lincoln:
Here’s a chicken story from my youth. We had a “clucking” hen that lived for hatching her own brood. With one brood, she kept rejecting an egg from the nest. I candled the egg and could see that it was viable. So, I placed it in my homemade incubator (still have it!). When the chick emerged from the egg, it only had one leg. The wonders of nature.

As for keeping em, I save cartons. So just transfer from the flat to the cartons. And then they stack in the footprint of one carton, which is nicer on critical refrigerator real estate.

Good grief I should have thought of that -- save the darn cartons. Thanks @roamer_1 :beer:

Sorry for you. :shrug:
I can't live like that. And I won't.

Ain't it?
Same with a bitch eating her pups.
Yeah it's gross, and seems wrong...
but usually there is a reason.

Second nature here... because of egg sales. We never have enough cartons. I buy store eggs for boiling, so saving the cartons for the egg sales just became second nature. Not so much now... we just buy cartons.
