We haven't been above freezing either, but we also don't have eggs over the winter. Onesy two-sy maybe, but those don't just crack when they freeze, but explode. Not worth it to even bother with those, cracked and oozing is on that list too.Where I live, we have not had a day above freezing in about 5 weeks. But I can understand the issue of having them frozen, cracked, and thawed out repeatedly in a hidden stash somewhere and I would not want to eat them either. Not worth the risk to me at that point.
Well, that might be issue if you find a hidden stash of eggs somewhere. My hens seldom ever lay an egg outside of the nest boxes. So, as I gather my eggs 2X-3X times daily, if I pick up a frozen and cracked egg, at least I know it is that day fresh.
Just not worth it.
She said she found a hidden nest, which was in a freeze thaw cycle area.
