I'm getting too many eggs! What do you guys and gals do with 3-4 dozen a week?

I gave them away to friends and neighbors. When they couldn't use more I fed the eggs back to the chickens. Over the years I have also cut back on the number of chickens I keep. Three or four seem to be just the right number. Much easier to deal with than 12 hens.

Do you have dogs? Scrambled eggs are very good for them!

Our livestock guardian dogs get eggs with their food to supplement protein. Indoor dogs not so much. The livestock dogs work all night patrolling for predators, so they work off a LOT of calories. I also periodically give eggs to a nice young mother in town. I dont have enough chickens to set up a table at the farmers market, but too many eggs for us to eat (especially in summer). So giving to those who can use them seems a win win.

I went and bought 8 chicks last spring thinking that half would either be roosters or die of something.
They're all super healthy hens! 6-8 eggs a day!!

We have "porch refrigerators" here to help people in need of food they can't get at the food bank. People in different parts of town, keep an old fridge on their front porch. Any one can put things into the fridge or freezer, as long as it is not raw meat, and anyone can remove what they need. Extra eggs are always welcome and go fast. It works here, you may want to start this in your city. Good luck!

No such thing! hahahahah! We have a freeze dryer, and if we ever have more than we can eat, we'll be freeze drying for long term storage. =)

I used to sell mine on the roadside outside my house. I had the egg boxes and an honestly payment box. Worked very well, in fact in the end I couldn't supply enough for everyone. They sold fast

Check if you local homeless shelter or shelter for abused women and children can use them. I give my extras to our local Senior Center who use them for cooking.
