How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

Only 4 today

Over the last 3 days we’ve gotten 2, then 6, then 2. I think my mom missed one on Thursday because we only have 5 active layers.

That's easy to do...one of my RIR's didn't lay until after 5:30 tonight!

I decided to experiment with freezing eggs! I have more of these silicone containers, but I'm only using one for the moment! I plan on popping the eggs out and sealing them into food saver bags, then removing what I need and resealing the bags. I'm interested to see what the eggs are like when I thaw them! I also bought hydrated lime as I want to try water glassing!
Video for water glassing!

Getting ready for the freezer!

Yes, I'm also hoping to at least be able to cook scrambled eggs for breakfast, fried would be cool, but I don't know if they will hold up after being frozen. I'm sure my girls will soon quit laying for the winter, so I'm trying to preserve some!

We got 4 of 9 today, 6 yesterday, and 4 the day before.... I wonder if they will form a pattern now with the cooler, windy, damp & rainy weather we are having??

I have frozen eggs in the freezer before, and will again tomorrow. I have 6 packs of 18 eggs left, after giving away 3. LOL My best advice, mix them up with a fork before freezing, thaw for 48 hours in the fridge. They are great for scrambled eggs & omelettes, cooking & baking. The texture is a little different, but the taste and effectiveness is the same.

oh wow that is very interesting information. i have never herd of this before. i have seen frozen eggs whites in the supermarket freezer.
have you baked with them after being frozen and how long can you keep the frozen for before they wont be okay?

It's actually interesting, as raw eggs last up to a year being frozen. Whereas cooked eggs, then frozen, only last a few months. You can seperate the yolks from the egg whites, I've just not tried that yet. I might do that with a pack, to see how they turn out. I also want to try & freeze a pack, not scrambled up to see how they do for fried eggs later on. As for baking, I haven't seen any difference between fresh and frozen. I've made cakes, pumpkin pie, and homemade egg noodles with my thawed, frozen eggs.
