Do the egg pieces "click" together or are the egg shell tops more like hats that just sit on top of the chicks inside?

The eggs are like hats. They don't snap or anything. The toddler just puts them on top of the "chick" that has the corresponding facial expression. When mine tries to pick up the container with them all in it, and she turns it upside down, the eggs all fall out and come apart. She finds it funny, but it becomes kind of tedious to put them all back in (if toddler doesn't want to clean up after herself). That being said, the tops of the eggs fit each egg well (there are no gaps) and it's easy for a baby to take them off and put them on, even if the faces aren't aligned with the chick (or on the correct chick).

They do NOT click together. They sit on top of the chicks. My grandbaby (girl) absolutely loves this toy!!!

They do fit together to close, like a puzzle, but they do not stay securely on. So, more like a hat, but they do come together all the way. If you turned one upside-down, it would fall off.

They don't click on hard they sit on which is easy for the baby or toddler to take them off. Like if I held one upside down the top would stay on. But easy enough to glide off. Hope that helps. ((some of mine stay on better than others))

Yes they nest inside each other. I've had these for about 6 months and used several times. Great value cookery.

Yes the eggs get turned the same as with the rails for chicken eggs. I've had this product for about a year now and I love it! I highly recommend it.

Yes. They nest quite well without tops. I've only had one instance of a glass-to-glass jam and hot water and some dawn unstuck them easily.

Yes, I place a shell on the bottom and then place pieces of chicken, hot peppers, and cheese on it, I then top it all with another shell. I also have filled it with scramble eggs, hot peppers, bacon bits and cheese.

Yes, the back is open but I screwed mine to the wooden wall. It is very easy to get the eggs out and my girls LOVE these boxes and never lay their eggs on the ground or anywhere else - like they used to. It took them about 3 to 4 days to get used to them. I put a white golf ball in each box to get them started. Best purchase I have ever made for my hens.

Notice the "pet pops" have square pop out buttons and the regular line of containers have circular buttons. I'm guessing the theory is to make a distinguishing feature on these so you don't accidentally use the same container for pet and, then later, people food.

The nipples are already attached. I bought one and its been great. At first my ever so smart chickens stared at it for a day or so but geniuses that they are, they finally figured it out.

These don't go on the head like a hat they sit on top like a party hat. Has a rubber band like a party hat to hold it on. So your head is not inside the hat. They are cute and can be also used for decoration but are not like real disney ears, notice price. They are thin paper cardboard party hats. Hope this helps.

The cups are made of aluminum, but they are coated on the inside with Teflon. If 'treated' right, the teflon is slippery on its own and you should not need butter or oil in them. The eggs SHOULD slide right out. But you can still use butter and oil if you like. It doesn't hurt the eggs any.

I use only one side. Place the eggs, etc., on one side then close the sides together. I like doing it the easiest and quickest way!

To be honest, I haven't noticed it being a problem but then again I don't use the pan on a regular basis. I just put the lid on my pan and it does shift a bit. The eggs turn out fine though.

The top of mine only sits on it, doesn't latch or snap in place. I'm up to 11.5 minutes for ex-large or jumbo eggs and they are lightly soft in very middle (only a very tiny portion) so I think I'm almost where they need to be. I'm at 6700' so I think the altitude is making this harder to get right. Regular eggs are great at the 9 minute mark.

Wish I could help, but I've got the same problem! Had one of these before and loved it - and the top snapped in place they way they say it will. My new one has a white gasket on the underside side of the middle (metal) piece; I'm pretty sure this wasn't there on my old one. Now, it's hard to time my eggs - and worse, when I try to get them out, the top sticks to the middle and the eggs are "held prisoner" inside. Looks like we both need to contact the manufacturer... good luck...

Yes. They don't click in place or anything and it would be easy to push the top one off, but if you stack it and leave it, it won't move.

Mine is the same and I don't know but think they made it that way so some of the steam can escape so the water doesn't boil up into the cups. Just my guess but it does a good job of poaching the eggs.
