Whether you are selling your chickens eggs, giving your eggs away, or eating your eggs, the best way to keep them fresh, is in egg cartons (not egg baskets). Egg baskets should be used to gather eggs, not for storage. If you sell your eggs you should always use new egg cartons.

Egg cartons keep your eggs fresh longer, make storing and transporting eggs easier and result in less breakage.
Which type of egg carton is best for the environment?
Egg carton's made from corrugated cardboard are the "greenest" choice as they can easily be thrown into the compost pile when they are no longer usable.
Styrofoam egg cartons are not good for the environment but they do keep eggs fresh longer which is why most Commerical egg producers use them.
Buying Egg Cartons in Bulk is Cheaper
Save money on egg cartons when you buy them in bulk. Buying egg cartons in bulk means you actually buy more egg cartons at one time but pay less for them per carton.
