Jen have you ever considered blowing some of your first eggs? That way you could keep them for years. If you still have them that is. I did that with my first chickens and had them for 5 years till we moved here and they got broken but it was still cool to have them. Now whenever I get an egg that is unusually pretty or unique for whatever reason I blow it and put it in a glass bowl that I keep in my kitchen for decoration. People always come in and ask me why I don't put them in the fridge cuz they think they are the ones I collected that day! lol
