Frozen Eggs

[Ireland Chicks]

So I am new at this. My question is "my eggs are frozen when I get them from the coop, are they good to eat after they thaw? or are they no good and I need to toss them. Thank you for any help

They are still good to eat but will spoil faster than intact non cracked eggs.

Thank you.

Quoted from a credible source:

Accidental freezing of eggs, especially in the winter is a common problem. If the eggs have broken through their shells they should be discarded. If the shells are still intact, the eggs can be thawed in the refrigerator and used in a thoroughly cooked dish such as scrambled eggs or hard-cooked eggs. Other uses are limited because once frozen the consistency of the egg yolk changes from a liquid to a solid (much like a hard rubber ball), and becomes lumpy.

Hope it helps.

As mentioned by previous post, if you find a cracked egg, toss it. If they are cold and shell intact, put them in the fridge and use them soon,

Or cook them and feed back to the flock...
