Nice video I know a lot about eggs. I was a contract producer for Perdue Farms in South Central Ky for 22 years before I retired and sold my farm. We would get a around 11,000 hens and 1,200 roosters once a year and for a short time when the hens would peak in production we would get 9,000 to 9,600 eggs a day. The birds were housed in a 520 ft. By 40 ft. house with 40 ft. By 20 ft of that being the work room where the eggs would come to you on a collection belt and you would pick them up by hand and load them in plastic trays of 54 and load them on a cart when full would hold a 5,184 eggs then put them in a cooler room until they were picked up took to their hatchery since these were to be hatched and not for human consumption they were not washed. Thanks again for the great information 👍
I can not believe some of the cameras you probably have ruined getting these shots! The egg process was a bit of a surprise! Reminded me of Lucy and Ethel in the bakery! Who knows what else you've been saving to show us! Great stuff!
Jacob, this was really neat to see. Thank you very much for making the entire video. That clunking noise yeah I got one in my combine that just started in about the last hour of finishing up last year's Harvest, I hate having that on my mind.🐣🇺🇸
The best invention that the US gave the world was the Vise-Grip. Every tractor where I am from has one in the tool-box. It can do almost anything in a emergency, heck it’s can even be used as a basic hammer.
First time for me seeing an egg washer, well done great video, I think our egg supplier washer was set to warm, I bought a dozen boiled eggs the other day lol
Looks like a great egg washing setup. Grew up with a rotary oscillating bucket washer with built-in water heater but it only did one bucket at a time. After one had failed, us kids took it apart and had many hours of fun spinning the motor at high speed by turning the oscillating crank.
Very interesting buddy it definitely makes life easier. I don’t know how you keep up with the chickens and everything else you have going on there every day
Great Video, Very Interesting. Never really gave much thought to how you wash large quantities of eggs. (3) things; might get a small sump pump that hooks to a garden hose and drop it into your drain bucket, you could also pump out your pre-wash tote with it. (2) Switch to mineral oil, vegetable oil becomes rancid which is why butcher blocks are oiled with mineral oil and not vegetable oil. (3) when your machine starts clunking take a screwdriver handle and apply a little pressure to the ends of the shafts. If this quiets it down, your clunking is from excessive end play, if not then the search continues. Best of luck, Stay Healthy............
It might be a dirty job but you upped the stakes now you done gone mechanical , I dont blame you one bit ! Get more done quicker with a lot less work. Work smarter not harder and that the name of the game when it comes to fresh eggs ! Bandit
Throw a sump pump or utility pump in that bucket with a foot valve and a garden hose out the basement window...The valve will function as a check valve and only let the water flow one way - out. That way you don't have to empty the bucket. Get a pump that's auto on/off and you're all set.
Thanks good deal on washer a dollar saved is a dollar earned. I'm curious as to how much are you selling a dozen for? Thanks your hard work great video. Have a good day thankyou
When I got up this morning I had no idea that I would be watching anyone washing eggs (let alone in a cellar). It's actually quite enjoyable to watch. Not only are you a very competent farmer,you would make a fine factory production worker. Do you do any direct local retail sales? Thanks for the video Jacob.
@@boehmfarm4276 That's what I'm talking about. Count us in. Me and my wife will be quite pleased to be regular customers.We will have to catch up with you or your parents and set up a reliable way to receive and pay. Thanks!
Great video. We have a similar machine with the grader and feed conveyor. I could hear your belts skipping. Ours would do that when the washer is full. Need to tighten those belts.
Do you have a farm store that you sell these at? Also I assume you mark the date on the tray? I'm just curious is all. Neat setup. Best of luck with it all. You definitely need another set of hands to keep up with it.
NICE rig! Shouldn't be TOO hard I would think to make some extra "egg track" to zig-zag back and forth so you could load up say as many as would fit on the tray on the other end at a time and then let it run... even just a tray's worth, what's that, 30, would be handy. Congrats on your purchase! OL J R :)
So does this mean you are now a BTCEO? Big time chicken egg operation :) That's an interesting piece of equipment, thanks for showing us and explaining it.
@@hedge685 Your reply caused me to picture in my mind Jacob wearing an outfit similar to Colonel Sanders from KFC, in the basement washing eggs and counting his earnings lol :)
@@boehmfarm4276 thanks for replying, that cellar reminds me of my grandmas house, hers was twice as big as her house half full of firewood and a room full of home canned food. I wish I could help you on egg washing days!
COOL...... Yes I watched till the end... Do you have a light on in your coops now?? I have a light on a timer , light comes on at , about , 4:00am. Read chickens need 12 - 14 hour of light per day to do best production, AND IT WORKS.... Only 50 hens here, light comes on in the morning so chickens can go to bed naturally on there own As always 👍 👍 🇺🇲
Bien , creo que tu problema de que salgan sucios algunos huevos es el cepillo de enmedio debe de ser una oruga que vaya jirandolos y asi los cepillos de los lados limpiando bien eso es mi punto de vista , ojalá puedas traducir este mensaje suerte !!
Nice egg washer. With the eggs sitting in the water, does the water get inside the eggs? You might need to have a small brush to get the dirt the egg washer misses. I am wanting to get my own piece of land to grow some or all of my food, hope to soon. And to stay in shape.
We over here in the Netherlands aren’t allowed to wash eggs that are going to consumer markets but I understand that in the USA al eggs have to be washed?
@@Budd56 nope al dirty eggs become second choice (B quality) and are paid less also brown eggs are the standard over here Dirty eggs go to the food industry
@@J-1410 where I’m from the food authority doesn’t allow the washing of eggs because it negative influences the time you can store the eggs. But in the USA this doesn’t seem the case or they have different regulations but I’m not familiar with these regulations.
I drove truck for a feed store in a small town. The store sold small animal feed bought and sold eggs by the case, we did not have a washer but there was an egg grader operated by high school students. The eggs were picked up one 18 egg flat at a time with a vacuum holder with 18 small cups and the eggs were set on wooden rollers that moved them to a set of wood wheels spaced apart so they could be candled and then carried to the gates which graded them into jumbo. large, medium and small the eggs were packed by two or three packers back in to 18 egg flats and put into cases again which we loaded onto the trucks and delivered to the wholesalers in the inner city. You could sure use a vacuum handle for your clean eggs picking up 18 eggs at a time is a big time and labor saver. On line at a company called Royal Pas Reform, an egg lifter, this is a egg handling company you name it they probably make it.
Never seen an egg washed before. Where I live there’s an egg marketing board and you’re allowed to have only 120 laying hens and that amount changes periodically. The large egg producers have to buy quota to produce and sell eggs so they don’t want any competition. Where do you sell your eggs?
@@boehmfarm4276 I was curious because as a child I weed to watch an egg farmers wife size there eggs ( with a pretty neat operating machine) in her basement . Your egg washer brought those memories back. Used to pay her 15 cents / doz for crackers and 25 cents /doz.for the others? Thank you.
