When all 6 are laying you'll have more eggs than you know what to do with!

I have an arrangement with several friends that if they give me all their empty egg-boxes, then they'll regularly get one back full of our beautiful eggs.

Hurrah!

I agree with DofNB - we have 4, and more eggs than we know what to do with - I have sent the kids door to door round the street, with eggs in a big basket, just to give them away!
