Sounds like an awesome idea! Or sell them, or start up with the quiches, waffles, omelettes, cakes ,souffles...Really, everything made with eggs is delicious!

Oh yes, and sherbet also with egg whites, if you've got an ice cream maker.

I'm sure a local homeless shelter or mobile meals program would appreciate them. That's what I plan to do with any extras we get.

Will do...I'll have to type it up when I get home from work.

For anybody who can't wait, it's Alton Brown's cheese souffle recipe from his "Good Eats" show...the only change is that I stir in a pound of frozen chopped spinach (thawed, with all the water wrung out) just before folding in the beaten egg whites.

It's worth watching the show, as there is some technique involved that is easier to visualize.

I give my surplus to a family that owns a restaurant and they give me scraps in trade to feed my flock.

I have been selling eggs for over a year now. I have no trouble getting rid of about 10 dozen a week, I deliver and some customers come to the house. This past month the hens paid for their bedding, flock blocks, and ground food as well as pellets. I have 14 young layers who usually have about 11 eggs on average each day. The old mixed flock from last year are struggling to lay, today they didn't, the most of them are molting. It has taken a year to get up to being able to get customers on a regular schedule, keep a list of possible customers and call back and check to see if they need more. I have refused to put a sign out in my yard as others have expressed the dangers of doing so, nor do I use CL. Word of mouth, and when I really get back logged the local tractor supply store suggested putting up an ad on their bulliten board.

If you're really running out of room, and not raising layers JUST for selling, you may consider giving some away. It'll bring people in, they'll spread the word, and then you'll have people who want to buy some!
