You could try some tasty tobasco on them or maybe try a different brand of feed.

Let him watch this to show him were store egg's come fromhttp://www.joost.com/2378inb/t/The-Natural-History-of-the-Chicken#id=2378inb

I agree find a you-tube that shows the horrible egg factories the worse the better and then ask him which he would prefer to eat, the one from the caged de-beaked unhappy bird or ones from a happy healthy free range flock. Also pull up the info on the difference in vitamins and fatty asids so that he can see how much healthier they are. When all else fails tell him that you have decided to raise Emus and that those will be the only eggs from now on lol that should get him wanting some fresh chicken eggs although having an Emu would be really cool....

This is exactly what I was thinking about the feed. Fresh eggs really should taste better. If other people failed to gobble up your deviled eggs (and not just quirky husband), the hens may be eating something that makes them taste funny. I heard one person who had fishy tasting eggs due to their feed. Also garlic (including wild garlic) can make their eggs taste funny.

I think you should be patient. The harder you push someone the more resentful they get. Just find other ways to use the eggs and hope fully in time he will come around. Best of luck to you.

LOLOL! Now see...this could happen to me. As of now we have no roo and therefore no bullseye, but I plan to get a roo so that I can feed my hatching addiction.

You know, it would be rally sad if you had to trade your superior eggs to a neighbor for store-bought ones!

Be sure to tell him that in the US eggs can sit in the stores for up to 61 days after being gathered.

I think my hubby was skeptical about whether I could learn to produce eggs on the property- now he's in the coop periodically, then hens are smitten with him and he avoids eggs from anywhere but home...

My daughter won't eat our fresh eggs. Doesn't want to know the butt her eggs came out of

We 'smuggle' them into salmon patties, fried chicken, and things like that. What she doesn't know doesn't hurt her!
(DH isn't allowed to say "bock bock bock" while we eat any more, either.)

Bake a 10-egg pound cake. The recipe is on BYC somewhere. Bet your hubby would eat that with some fresh berries on top

And that uses up a LOT of eggs!

sell sell sell your extra eggs. but do not buy any store bought eggs.

let him go buy his own eggs..

if he wants to act childish about it, treat him like a child..

at our house it is a rule, if anyone has or makes a bad comment about a meal, they cook the next meal.. Our 3 children learned this at a very early age.. and it worked.
