I'm actually thinking of water glassing. I tried freezing last year, but don't like how it congeals the yolk.

I don't like it either, for some reason it me out.

I have read that you can avoid that by mixing salt or sugar into them before freezing. I have not personally tried that, but I have tried freezing cookie dough to bake later, and there were no problems with the eggs in it.

I actually tried the salt trick... Did not work for me.

MMMmmmmm! Cookie dough! My diabetes will thank me for that!

Java stopped brooding. I have 6 duck eggs under my phoenix though that look good, but it's still too early to really tell.

Also lost 2 of my silkies and culled a 3rd. No clue what happened to the first two, especially since one was young and seemed healthy. So Cheese and David are the last ones I have.

Awww, I'm sorry to hear that.

What will you do with the homeless eggs?

They'll be tossed. They weren’t very far along and it's been too cold to try and reheat them. I also just have no room to set an incubator up right now anyways.

Sorry to hear both bad news

Phoenix might be a loss. It looked like all of the eggs were cracked. I'm having a hard time getting my ducks ro get enough calcium. They want nothing to do with oystershell, but absolutely gobble egg shells, they don't even care about the yolk.

Do you know what I would get if I put a magpie male with my Pekin, Rouen, khaki, blue Swedish and buff?
