Honestly that sounds like a good problem to have. Means your birds are super healthy and productive. Had to scramble and give eggs away to neighbors last time we had a glut. Freezing or pickling them works too if you get stuck. Just gotta get creative before they go bad.

See what you mean, but letting stuff wait doesn't always make more work. A clear head in the morning often lets you solve things faster.

Try a coin, it works and is way quieter lol.

Watch how everything good just quietly wears out.

Yeah, sometimes the old parts are just too worn out for tape to fix. Good on him for not wasting a whole weekend on it.
