If you have your own chickens at your house, you already know how rewarding it is collecting your own eggs every day. Especially with the price of groceries just going up and up.

Something we have always loved about collecting our own eggs, is that our food makes food.

We feed our chickens all of our food scraps - vegetable peels and parts of vegetables we don't eat, strawberry tops, any food that has gone bad... It is amazing keeping that out of the garbage and feeding it to our chickens. We have a nice little chicken food basket by our sink that we keep these scraps in and then we through them through the food processor so it it perfectly chicken sized.

In return, our sweet hens leave us gorgeous eggs in a variety of rainbow colors that we love to display in egg baskets on our counter.

Of course you probably know this as well as you are reading this article and are looking for egg collection basket ideas! There are some really beautiful egg baskets to choose from for collecting eggs, and even for displaying them on your counter.

Let's get right into it, here are the best egg basket designs for you to have for your backyard chickens, with options for collecting eggs and options for displaying your eggs on your counter.

Egg Collecting Apron

Of course there are other options for collecting your eggs, such as egg collecting aprons!

These are usually handmade aprons with perfectly spaced front pockets or one large cushioned pocket to cradle your eggs as you walk from your backyard chicken coop to the house. No more stuffing eggs into your pockets when you were outside and were not prepared to collect your eggs (been there!).

There are many egg apron designs out there, like this handmade linen one:

This gorgeous handmade linen apron is getting rave reviews and is one of the most beautiful egg aprons we have seen. Here is what shop owner Nilda has to say about it:

While most aprons only have 1 layer of fabric, our quality aprons have an extra lining made of upholstery grade linen in the inside. This is not your standard linen that is see-through. This provides extra durability & longevity of your apron.

You can compare it to the other handmade egg apron options right here.
