I enjoyed reading this information
I have only 8 hens they are ISA Browns and are prolific layers. I water glass my extra fresh UNWASHED eggs. I currently have three 5 gallon covered buckets of clean unwashed eggs in the waterglassing solution and I am now using the water glassed eggs collected in March of last year. This is an old method of safe egg storage that was common especially in the rural areas even til now. There is a YouTube video called the HOMESTEADING family that explains the process very well to safely water glass your eggs. I always do a "float test" before using the eggs and rinse well before using. I have stored fresh UNWASHED eggs this way for up to 18 months with no change in the yolk or albumin or flavor. And done so for 20+years. I have never had a food born illness from this method. The recipie has to be followed each time and will ONLY work with fresh unwashed eggs.
Just another way to avoid waste and enjoy YOUR hens fresh eggs.
