I wonder if @AviaryandApiary has a good egg pickleing recipe?

I posted a simple pour over one you leave in the fridge for a week... haven't tried it yet, I usually just pop some in the leftover pickle juice and let it set in fridge for a couple days, lol...

I've never had a pickled egg...think it kinda sounds gross but not big on pickling taste

 

[Ravynscroft]

I love them, lol... pickled part is really only the outside of the whites, gives the eggs a nice bite to 'em...
Jim doesn't eat them either...

Quote: When I joined BYC, I was really shocked that my view on things changed so dramatically. I grew up anti-hunting (Bambi) and anti chop a head off anything. I thought it was cruel. Uh-huh.

Then I realized that on Long Island (before I moved) the deer were getting smaller, dying of malnutrition, eating people's bird feeders, they ate my whole front yard! Out on Shelter Island, they were allowed to use deer fencing and those grates for driveways. It was really bad. My sidewalk was covered in deer poop every night. I would peek out the window at night and be face to face with a deer. Things had gotten that way because of people who thought it was cruel to shoot deer. Lesson: not culling was killing the deer slow and painful.

Then I joined BYC and could not understand people on this forum having chickens as food. Then I learned that supermarket chicken and eggs are cruel. With raising poultry for food, I (Duh!) learned that anyone here has concern for the well being of their chickens whether pets or food. Lesson: Quality of life Until becoming dinner is important. Supermarket chickens don't have that.

This may seem really naive to some, but it's true. I'm left respecting those who raise chickens for food and have concern for their well being until then. Certainly humane.

I Never thought I could chop the head off anything. However , when one sees an animal suffering, the humane thing to do is to end it's suffering quick and painlessly. Meaning that I learned how to use an ax. I still take some of mine to the vet for euthanization. I guess it depends on what the chicken would want. They do tell me : "let me die on my own", "get me a shot that makes me sleepy", or "Get it over with now!". I now use about an ounce of vodka (for each of us), wait an hour and do the deed. It helps. Then they all get a funeral and a prayer and a few personal words. Amen.

Yep, they're great... but the poop is another story...

Told Jim you *might* have extra Snowy's after the AI cools down, and he really likes that idea... so, yes, please let me know...

for sure.
