banty eggs - inedible?

[erindubb]

This seems like a dumb question - and I didn't know which forum to post it in either. But I am considering getting three standard chickens and two bantams for my backyard. The bantams - just because they are so small and cute - the standards because they make regular sized eggs. I was going to eat the bantams eggs too - but someone told me that bantam eggs are inedible? It that true?

No, it is not true. You just have to adjust the number of eggs to the recipe. There are lots of charts out there that can help.

They are a great snack when boiled. Cute sliced on a salad.

And they make great pickled eggs.

they make cute little deviled eggs too, the kids love them! My girlfriend loves them at easter cause the kids love to color the little ones!

I use 2 banty eggs in place of one egg, or three in place of 2.

Banty eggs are the only eggs that I eat. Because they are so small, they are perfect for me. I live alone, so I don't need many eggs. I only eat the banty eggs because i save the larger eggs to sell to all of my customers. When I collect my eggs every day, I place the banty eggs in their own egg carton for my own eating. You just have to use a couple more to add up to a large egg. In the morning for breakfast, I eat about 4 banty eggs and that is enough to fill up little ole me. Banty eggs are just as delicious as regular sized eggs. So go ahead and eat you a few. You'll love'em!

Banty eggs are just smaller eggs. Same taste as a regular egg. That's all we eat. As a matter of fact, we had pancakes this morning with. . . . . banty eggs.

I love my banty eggs. I can brag that I can eat 6 egg for breakfast

They are adorable hard boiled.

Banty eggs are the absolute best for deviled eggs!
