How do you remove your eggs from the carton?

[angiebg]

I guess I'm very OCD!!! We have chickens....2 lay white(ish) eggs and 2 lay brown eggs. I arrange them in a checkerboard pattern & then try to use an even # of brown & white. I can't wait until the ameraucana eggs I have under a broody hen hatch & start laying....then I get to add BLUE eggs to my patterns.

I'm hoping to start selling eggs in the fall - I plan to put a blue egg in each carton I sell.

This thread cracks me up! I unload methodically from one end to the other!

That's exactly my rationale. Glad to hear other people do this. I thought I was totally neurotic. Well, I'm pretty sure I'm still neurotic, but maybe a little less than I thought.
