I don't freeze them I use waterglass, but from what I understand adding salt or sugar is to prevent the yolk to gel in the freezing process. I prefer waterglass because you can preserve on the shelf.

I found freezing them awful. A few others who did it with me also felt they were rather frost bitten etc. I now use the old method of oiling the eggs. Clean, fresh out of the house, I mineral oil the outside and store them in the frig that way. I don't have a pantry/larder that I would think stays consistently cold enough so I just take up frig space. A few dozen for the winter baking is what I have plus any lucky finds that the girls lay. The eggs do have to be flipped or rotated in their cartons every once in a while as they keep.

Tnic... love your avatar. I wish more 'heritage' folks would be into the Doms and Javas. Doms are gorgeous imo

I used duct tape on a goose, ostensibly making it goose tape today. Cuts on the foot needed something to keep it clean for a bit. Tea tree and goose tape seems to be working so far.

we live in a split level and put the coops under the deck and fenced it in to give them more protection during the colder months

Nice! It is much larger than was apparent in the first photograph (I was wondering how you would crawl in there). The second set of photos really gives it some perspective. Great way to use that space.

Thank you, I notice d that after I had posted the first set of pictures. My husband came up with the idea

I agree, great use of space! We have a raised deck and I've always thought that the space under it is wasted. Good thinking!

love the use of space! will make it easy in the winter for sure. My coop is coming along, still have some final touches to finish before winter. Just did a bunch of painting yesterday and made curtains and hung them up today. I hope to have the trim up by next week. Here is a photo of the front with the pumpkins I picked up today and my daughter posing of course.

thanks! I love the color....I love all color. Thankfully my hubster is trained pretty well and lets me do just about whatever I want ie: hun I just ordered 28 chicks and his response was...where do you want the coop? *snicker*
