Too many eggs! Suggestions?

I'd love to make Pizelles. But alas, I have no pizelle press.

Check legally, but can you give them away to a food pantry or a food giveaway locally?

I did. Last year I gave away 17 and 18 dozen to my local Bread Shed a couple of times. They took food donations.

when I have excess eggs I boil them and feed my animals together with corn and wheat. it cuts the feed bill down.

What animals, cgr? Don't you have sheep and goats? Do you chop the eggs fir them? And do you feed with the shells on or not?

I have 4 goats only but don't feed them eggs. I have chickens, ducks, geese, guinea fowl, vietnamese pigs, dogs and cats. only cats don't eat shells. dogs and others get calcium from the shells.

WalMart sells a halfway decent one for about $25, but keep an eye out at thrift shops. They're often priced low because people don't know what they are. I picked up my "extra" iron at GoodWill for all of $4.00! Better yet, it was a brand-new, high end press that I've coveted for years!

GoodWill for all of $4.00!

yes. Goodwill is the best place for irons as well as hair dryers. Always cheap.

We inherited a dozen chickens and a rooster when we bought our house18 month ago. We were excited at first to have the eggs but it’s getting out of hand. They’re great layers and we typically get 8-10 eggs every day. We’re a family of four but my daughter is sick of eggs and refuses to eat them anymore. My son will have a couple of soft boiled eggs or an omelette most days.
Wife and i do our best to eat some form of egg each day but getting pretty sick of them ourselves.
I’ve bought an ice cream Machine and am making a heap of ice cream (a 1 litre batch uses 5 eggs!) and we’re looking at picking up a pasta maker to use up more.
We live in a rural area so everyone has chickens of their own and isn’t interested in taking any of ours. Our families are several hours away so we give away a few dozen when we see them but that’s not a regular thing.
We’re in mid-summer now so production is in full swing but even in winter we tend to get a few eggs every day.
Storing/glassing/freezing isn’t really practical because we almost never have a period of such low production that we’d get into the stored eggs.
Hoping to start a market stall soon with various other produce (we’re starting to produce olives, honey, jams, jellies and soon maybe mead and cider) and we might get rid of a few dozen the way but again - everyone local produces their own!
What are great ways to use up a lot of eggs?
We have a dog and a cat but they say a max of one cooked egg a day for them.
I’ve contemplated hatching eggs out and rearing birds for meat but I’m honestly not ready for the slaughtering/plucking/gutting/packing process of that!!
We have about 60 or 70 eggs on the counter at the moment and they keep rolling in!
Help?!?
