The Tractor Supply Storage Item That Gives Your Kitchen Counter Farmhouse Vibes

While the name Tractor Supply might have you thinking that you can only buy heavy-duty machinery in stores, the reality is that it is a rural lifestyle retailer. This means that while you can purchase farm equipment there, it also has pet supplies, clothing, and decorative storage solutions. If you're looking for classic farmhouse decor that feels more modern, one interesting find that is perfect for chicken lovers is the Red Shed Chicken Coop Egg Holder.

Trade in your egg cartons for this country kitchen-inspired storage solution that is designed to look just like a mini chicken coop, right down to the slanted roof and the chicken-wire-inspired mesh panels on the doors, which have a latch to keep the eggs safe. The chicken coop holds up to 30 eggs across three shelves with cups that cradle the eggs. While you might expect egg storage to be divisible by 12, as stores typically sell them by the dozen, this coop is meant for farm fresh eggs that don't come in set numbers. With fresh eggs, you typically don't have to refrigerate them if they haven't been washed, so this egg holder is perfect for chicken owners.

According to the Tractor Supply product description, this is also a more durable piece, which makes sense if you're opening and closing it every day to add and remove eggs from the shelves. At $39.99, this is a unique piece that brings a modern farmhouse aesthetic to your countertops, even if you don't use it for farm fresh eggs.

If you are looking to put together a farmhouse kitchen design without overdoing it, then adding this egg holder that looks like a chicken coop makes perfect sense. Although this chicken-themed egg holder is obviously meant for storing farm fresh eggs on your counters, there is nothing that says you can't use it for other things. One idea is to use it to store your coffee pods — it's an ideal option for coffee lovers who have a rustic or farmhouse aesthetic in their kitchen. Since this holds up to 30 eggs across three shelves, you could easily add in coffee pods instead if you don't have access to farm fresh eggs. Another idea is to use it for both the eggs and coffee pods, putting the eggs at the bottom of the coop and the coffee on the top shelf to make breakfast planning easy.

While this egg holder is meant to bring the farmhouse vibes to your countertop, you could put it in the refrigerator, depending on the spacing between the shelves in your fridge. You would need more than 14 inches of space between shelves, so it's entirely possible that it could work if you don't like leaving your eggs in the cartons from the store. But it would take up a lot of precious refrigerator space, so it might not be practical for many families. Of course, if you just love a good chicken-themed decor piece, you could just leave this coop on the counter without eggs (or with fake eggs, artificial plants, or other decor options inside) to bring a touch of farmhouse whimsy to your space.
