Official BYC Poll: Excess eggs, what do you do with them?

[Lynn Woehrle]

We give ours to a food bank or to friends.

When you are freezing eggs, what all do you have to do other than whip them?

What do you freeze them in?

Do you have to have an expanding space in the container?

I have not done this myself yet, but... I have seen instructions saying scramble the raw egg with a fork, then pour into a muffin tin that has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray, and freeze. When frozen solid, slip out of the tins and bag in Ziploc bags. Can thaw and use in baking, not sure how else these can be used. Maybe thaw and cook as scrambled eggs? Maybe others who have done this will chime in. Or maybe I'll experiment!

Okay give allot to the food bank here they love them in the winter they know
I do not have extra customers come first but have given some to new neighbors also

Which food bank do you donate to?

How do they like them cooked?

Boil for 15 minutes. Cool down, then refrigerate. Feed the entire hard boiled egg (shell, yolk and white) crumbled to your chickens. Don't leave it whole or they might become "egg eaters" after they lay.

We have tons of eggs here right now, how about you? What do you do with your excess eggs? We collect and cook what we can, hatch a few, and the rest we give away or feed back to the birds.

I have been giving eggs away to neighbors, coworkers and old friends. Also making pasta and lots of other great yummies.

I give them to the fire station and police Dept near the house. With the pandemic, I’ve been taking them to work too. Just ask for cartons in return.

I have a few regular customers that usually buy on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis but the virus and other happenings have interrupted that. They get my newest eggs. I give away eggs to family or friends that are 8-14 days old and feed my animals any over 15 days old. And I still find myself with egg overload, all it took was one or two not needing eggs in a week. I just boiled 90 eggs to feed back and still have around 16 dozen (not including the almost 3 dozen I collected today. I have 45 hens and 2 duck hens.

Here's one day's egg collection. I didn't get any E.E. eggs that day, usually I get 2-8 from them.

The old red and white Betty Crocker cookbook has a recipe for Angel Food cake that uses a dozen egg whites. It tastes a thousand times better than any store bought ones, and though I love to cook, it’s really not hard to make at all. Pets can dispose of all the yolks left over.
Angel food cake is great with fresh strawberries and home made whipped cream.
