    freezing eggs???

    I would not either, but if you home freeze and they crack, or freeze in the coop and don't crack, I would eat it. Like I said, they were a little watery, but apart from that they were fine. It's a good way to store eggs for baking etc. I suspect our freezer was too cold for the eggs, that's why...

    freezing eggs???

    As I've said in a previous post I decided to freeze some eggs to see what effect the freezing has on them and the quality. I picked 2 fresh eggs and 2 older ones that were sitting on the counter for about 2-3 weeks. The results are in: After a day in the freezer they looked like this (oops...

    I put 4 in the freezer this morning. 2 of yesterday's fresh laid and 2 older ones that's been sitting in the kitchen for awhile (longer than a week). I'm going to take them out to thaw before I go to bed tonight and cook them tomorrow morning. I'll let you know the results.

    freezing eggs???

    freezing eggs???

    Sorry I gave you such a short and sour answer! Temperatures below 30* can kill the embryo, which is just a tiny little possibility in fertile eggs, waiting for the right temperature to start developing. I've heard of people hatching eggs from the fridge, with mixed results, but not from frozen.

    freezing eggs???

    I read tip for boiling eggs the other day that I haven't tried yet, but I'm going to: before you boil the eggs, especially older ones with large air sacks, make a small hole in the shell on the fat end of the eggs. When the egg cooks the contents expand, so you should have a perfectly shaped egg...

    Here's a good thread on hard boiled eggs: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=24428 You can freeze hard boiled eggs for up to year, I heard. Maybe they'll peel easier then?

    freezing eggs???

    This freezing egg talks reminded of a funny story a friend of mine told me years ago. She mistakenly put the eggs in the freezer, instead of the fridge. But she admitted she knew nothing about food and cooking and storing food etc. One day she had a new BF come round to visit and she decided to...
