Make lots of custard.
Make frittatas and freeze them.

I donated all my extras to our local food pantry. I kept track of the number I dropped off each week. Over 6 months I donated 63 dozen eggs. I found a way to keep all of my girls and I got a tax write off in the bargain... I finally decided to let them go and 2 weeks ago the last 6 of a flock of 16 left for their new home.

Check your local food pantry! They are very grateful for those eggs!

There are several ways of preserving eggs. I have frozen them before in anticipation of a slow down in winter, but my birds kept churning out plenty of fresh eggs all year long and I hardly ever used them. The best outcome of freezing was with the ones that I scrambled and stored uncooked in approximately one-cup quantities. You can crack them and freeze them without scrambling but mine didn't keep their texture as well. I give away most of my fresh eggs. Whenever there is a pot luck gathering, I make large egg casseroles or maybe angel food cakes. I'd love to find a way to give them to people who have true financial barriers to fresh food.

I just posted, but I donated mine to the local food pantry.

I'm getting up to 10 eggs a day and am quickly running out of options for what to do with them. Short of chucking them, that is.

My friends are all stocked up, we are sick of eating eggs and now we have a backlog in the 20's. So, what are some things you guys do to use up those extra eggs? Today's basket (from yesterday and today)

I crack eggs into a measuring cup and when I have a measured cup, I beat them and pour the eggs into zip lock sandwich bags. Then I freeze them uncooked. When defrosted, a 1/3 cup of the beaten up eggs equals two eggs in a recipe. If you have a deep freezer, they last a long time without any harm.

One of the places I get emails from said if you rub them with baby oil they'll not spoil, even un-refrigerated. It seems to work, which is a good thing for me, as I have nowhere else to put them.

You must live in an area with no city folks. I have a waiting list for my eggs. I sell about 4 dozen a week and could sell 6 or 8, if I had that many. I only ask $3 a doz, it covers my cost for feed. and my friends rave about the fresh eggs, say they cannot stand store bought eggs any more. I get calls from friends who are not on my normal list wanting any that I might have. i buy pink egg cartons and put signs that say free range and organic on the front. My customers love it ( must admit all gal friends) You might post a sign at the feed store. You can freeze eggs, but I never have any left over. If I ocasionally have an excess, I scramble them for the dogs. I also make frittatas ofen for myself for dinner.

Meant to add, feed them back to your chickens. I would never throw out my eggs, there are families with not enough to eat. Check around, there is alway someone who is thankful for the free food. Maybe a church that has some members who are having a hard time financially. have you checked the local food bank?

I love Pizzelle. I think I should buy an iron. I tried to find one years ago, but that was before Amazon.com.

This is where I got mine many, many years ago. I recommend any one of these. I especially like my Palmer three-oval iron. www.fantes.com
