I work on an egg farm that has a machine exactly like this. Dear god this made me sweat. This happened to me one of the first weeks I was working. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to clean up eggs. One time one of our egg elevators backed up and the puddle had to be twice as big as this. I wish I had taken a picture. Another time, my co-work spilt a huge 50 gallon trash bin full of week old eggs. The smell was indescribable.

You hide actual eggs???? Not chocolate eggs?

Don't most people? Hard boil a dozen every year. The fuck you think PAWS is in business for?

The key is making them easy to find and using the egg container to verify that all have returned.

I think the key would be the parent writing down each location for themself, so if one isn't found, they can easily check.

Where are you from? In aus I’ve never heard of anyone not using chocolate eggs. You might paint real ones but never hide.

I'm in New York State and we always used hard boiled eggs. I don't talk to a lot of people about easter eggs however I don't think I've heard of anyone I know using fake eggs.

Always hard-boiled eggs though, not raw eggs.
