Gross or an acceptable use?

I'm getting multiple pullet eggs a week now. The girls are on layer feed so I have no problem with eating them. Surprise! My country boy SO won't eat them. He says to give the girls more time and let them get to laying regularly then we'll eat them. Don't bother with suggestions on talking him into it. To give you an idea of how that conversation would go, find the nearest brick wall and have a talk with it.

His mama didn't eat pullet eggs, his grandma didn't eat pullet eggs, yada yada yada.
I'm feeding a couple to the dogs, but I don't want to give them too many. Charlie dog especially has a sensitive tummy now that she's elderly. So...I'm hard boiling them and giving them back to the hens. Is this acceptable? Does anyone else do it?

yeah i do that too with the broken eggs and the girls go crazy for them

I don't get it....what is the difference, other than the size, between pullet eggs and mature hen's eggs?

Eating a pullet egg is like eating a small fish....once its cleaned and cooked it tastes the same as a big fish! I know I'm preaching to the choir, but why let the girls hard work go to waste? If your DH found a nice bowl of egg salad in the fridge I bet he couldn't tell how big the eggs were you used to make it

My DH swore he wouldn't eat green eggs, but once they're cooked he can't tell what color they were and he doesn't watch me cook, so......

So make yourself a yummy omelet dripping with veggies and cheese and butter and when your SO starts drooling, tell him he has to wait for the big girl eggies.

If the question boils down to if its acceptable to feed boiled eggs back to the hens, the answer is yes.

I've eaten alot of pullet eggs, and so far haven't grown a second head or anything.

 

[redhen]

Our kids are totally different.

We had breakfast for dinner the other night and celebrated with my daughter's first dozen pullet eggs from her newest flock.

Everyone concluded that they made the best scrambled eggs and pancakes!

We still have the very first egg layed from that coop. My daughter is so proud of her girls! In a few days she may be ready to part with it.
