Topic of the Week - What do you do with all those eggs?

[Pickensandchigs]

Incubate, grow, repeat. I also feed our extra eggs to the pigs.. boy do they love eggs.

 

[PippinTheChicken]

Eat them, sell them, give them to neighbours

We freeze dry them. Which ensures we have plenty. To use for cooking and baking through the holiday season (cookies, small loaves of different kinds bread with a few different jellies and jams are welcome presents) and winter. Even with us selling eggs. Our hens are usually productive enough. To supply us with fresh eggs for table use year round.

I sell or give away any extra eggs that we have, typically 1 dozen a week.

We freeze some...though we never seem to use those! We have some friends who don't own chickens that we give eggs to. Hubby also takes some to work now and then to share with co-workers. We pickle some and feed some back to our birds. The peas like theirs scrambled and the chickens like theirs anyway they can get them. We occasionally treat the dogs with some... usually scrambled for the dogs. The frozen eggs always seem to end up as pet treats...not sure why I always keep some frozen !
I've read about a way to keep them fresh long term by using lime water that I've always wanted to try...but chicken math kinda made sure we have no reason to preserve eggs!

Lime water preservation is also called "water glassing". There are a bunch of threads on it if you are interested. However, it doesn't really sound like you are concerned with preserving eggs. Freezing is also a good solution, but takes freezer space.

Frozen doesn't stay good as long either.

My biggest concern with water glassing is the heat where I am. We have a couple of months of intense heat and we don't run the ac at night...we don't set it lower then 80 during the day either. I worry the heat will ruin the eggs.

I'll have to look for those threads. No time like now to try it

[Pampered chicken girl]

I either eat them, give away to family or friends oh, and I always give some to the chickens they love it and I usually already have more eggs than I need I don't know what I'm going to do when my seven other pullets come in to lay plus the girls right now I'll probably end up selling there eggs
