Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I got 8 out of 8 again today, and used 8 yolks to make some butternut squash custard. So I broke even.


Congratulations! Eggs? How many?

Just the one. Our Rhode Island Red was the first of 6 hens to start laying. The one in the pic is our first

So I did this last week, with the exception of adding a little salt to each. (I read that on multiple sites that the salt will help keep the yoke from thickening and changing its texture. Supposedly you can use sugar, too.) I took them out of the freezer, thawed them in fridge overnight, and tries to use them yesterday. The salt trick did NOT work. Yoke was thick and rubbery. I ate two anyways, and they tasted fine, but I do not think the rest of my family will care for them since they prefer over easy eggs. I cooked up the rest for my chickens who could use some extra protein due to molting. I can't see that doing eggs this way will work for adding to recipes, like batters and such?

When I froze these eggs, I also took a couple of dozen and lightly scrambled them, put them in a Ziploc, and froze them. I hope they cook up well.

Any advice?

I agree with you about the salt. I use my eggs mainly scrambled or in baking. They came in real handy this week making 12 apple bread loaves, 3 batches of chocolate chip cookies and 3 batches of Oatmeal raisin cookies. Gonna see how they do in dressing and pumpkin pie.

2x3=6
3+3=6
10-4=6

But it’s better than 0! I am not complaining

I got one. I used up 18 today 12 for deviled eggs and 6 in pies. That cleared off my shelf. Still have a couple dozen in the fridge and around 6 dozen water glassed
