Burbs are fed and reasonably not angry. :yesss:

The screaming demon threw up......cushion foam from the sofa downstairs. Not good. Not good at all. Dadgum dogs are gonna drive me to drinking.

I like Noah's coat. Good coverage for his lack of fuzzes.
 
I cant say that Im complaining, but Im definitely curious. My girls have not slowed laying whatsoever. Im still getting 4-6 eggs each and every day. I thought it was supposed to slow down once the temps dropped.
On the other hand, the quail stopped cold turkey once the temps dropped.

First year pullets tend to continue through winter. I wish I had gotten mine earlier in the year. I am in an egg famine right now.
 
Do either of you want some of mine? :gig

How long do they stay fresh?
I totally realize that this is apparently a rhetorical question. It seems there really isn't a straight forward answer unless the egg stinks. I just have SO many :eek: I have had some requests and I give them the freshest eggs. But we're just not working through them nearly fast enough to keep up. I will freeze some by scrambling them raw and putting them in ice cube trays.
(Stupid) Question on this: do I have to do one at a time or can I do an entire bowl and just fill each ice cavity? I'm mainly worried about this if I choose to use them for baking. As I reread this, it sounds really stupid because I cannot imagine anyone doing this one egg at a time. But I will leave it, just in case. ;)
I also want to water glass some. This is where the age question comes in. I guess maybe trial and error??
I do not wash or refrigerate. I'm SO confused with all of this. People are just so adamant that their way is the right way and, of course, the USDA or any other food safety group advocates washing and refrigerating. I do wash right before use and if I happen to have any really poopy or otherwise dirty eggs, I throw them out.
btw - I finally get the importance of dating each egg. :lau:lau

Unwashed on the counter they last at least a month. Unwashed and in the fridge they last about 4 months. Washed and in the fridge I make it policy to use before 6 weeks.
I tend to write the "gathered on" or laid on date on paper then stick it in the carton.

For freezing I would scramble them as a batch. You can also scramble, cook in rounds for breakfast sandwiches like sausage egg biscuits. A biscuit cutter sprayed with Pam should work to hold the shape.
I would cook, freeze flat on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper then bag up with wax paper between them so I could take out only what is needed.

Looks like I'll be busy for a while :) Thank you!
 
I know its late but I just wanted to see if everyone had a good day. :)

Bob, I think it was you that asked me if I wanted to learn BB code. If so, then, sure I wouldn't mind. I love learning new things. 😻

Sorry for not responding sooner. Im getting a little overwhelmed keeping up with threads and reading old ones or older portions of existing threads. Very interesting reading, but I tend to get stuff jumbled up at that point 🤣

Work has been BLEH! I’m not the type to enjoy just sitting there. Its unbelievable how this pandemic has touched so many different parts of, well, everything.
