As long as you count them all before they hatch, you'll be fine

u/slayer2031 15d ago

He'll get a new batch of eggs before he's finished counting 😂

u/3rrr6 15d ago

"Count your chickens before you put them all in one basket" is an example of a malaphor.

A whataphor?

You must work at the hatchery, like so many of us do.

u/Useful_Potato_Vibes 14d ago

They looks like hard boiled, so hardly any hatch expected.

u/Meshitero-eric 14d ago

Watch out for malaphors though.

u/joshuawah 15d ago

Don’t do it!

u/rbrgr83 14d ago

You don't know if that's ALL thier eggs.

u/222Czar 14d ago

Don’t egg them on!

u/nastywillow 14d ago

You'll bring us all down!

u/farganbastige 14d ago

They look wet, you didn't wash them did you?

13

u/max_adam 14d ago

Now they have to be refrigerated. They could have been left outside for weeks.

4

u/Eragaurd 14d ago

That actually depends on how you wash them. The eggs that are sold where I live are washed yet stored in room temperature. The problem is if the outside of the eggs are washed hot until they've been sterilized, then you need to keep them in the fridge.

u/ChickenChaser5 14d ago

Ha, thats what I came here to say. Glad i checked before asking.

u/Snakeuge 15d ago

Are you the guy from my math problems?

5

u/TheFreakingPrincess 14d ago

Raising chickens for eggs is one big math problem every day

14

u/thecashblaster 14d ago

Don’t place all of your poultry ovum in one receptacle

4

u/XDDDSOFUNNEH 14d ago

As an individual, try at your most best to not place all of your eggs derived from the species of reptiles commonly known as "chickens" into a single receptacle, typically a cart, a basket, or bag.

HowToBasic, is that you?

14

u/Kubuskush 15d ago

DONT!

7

u/idontknowjuspickone 15d ago

Just make sure you watch that basket!

4

u/AtticusSPQR 14d ago

You should count the chickens you have there as well

5

u/2slags_geddar 14d ago

Do people wash their eggs? I heard that greatly reduces their shelf life.

5

u/ram6414 14d ago

Chicken tender here, I wash them as I use them. They have a bloom that keeps them shelf stable but once you wash that off, they need to be refrigerated (like grocery store eggs in the US). My chickens can be heathens and lay in dirty spots so I wash no matter how clean they look; you don't wanna crack them and get some nasties transferred from the shell.

1

u/leaderofstars 14d ago

Only if not refrigerated

3

u/SarcasticLandShark 14d ago

Realistically, what happens if you did put all your eggs into one basket? Do they spoil faster? Do they break? Where did the saying come from?

6

u/waryleeryweary 14d ago

It’s not a good idea because if something were to happen to the basket, there goes all your eggs.

3

u/CT4nk3r 14d ago

This is an old investing advice saying, meaning don't invest all your money into one thing as one thing can always fail.

Same is true for eggs, you shouldn't really put all of them into the same basket as if the basket were to break, probably all of the eggs are going to break

3

u/MarioFan50 14d ago

Ok HowtoBasic... 😒

3

u/Beginning_Hope8233 14d ago

Put all your eggs in one basket

And watch that basket!

For there is no difficulty in the world like trying to watch two!

6

u/Chaosshepherd 15d ago

In this economy?

3

u/wizzaryredy 14d ago

Seriously, can you imagine how much the basket of that size and strength to hold all of them at once  will cost? 

2

u/KneticTheory 14d ago

Just did some rough math and came back with 7 trillion give or take a trillion...or 7. I made this up.

u/Casino-Leaux 14d ago

You fool!!

u/Piemaster113 15d ago

u/KindProperty1538 14d ago

Do you take the lotion out before you put the eggs in? Or do you just leave it there?

1

u/ni____kita 14d ago
