What do you do with all those eggs?

Second on the raw egg opinion. I would not do it.
I get banty eggs which are just as good as any other egg. I adjust for recipies, if it calls for 2 eggs I use 3 or 4 banty eggs. Also my husband will sometimes boast to his friends that his wife fixed him an 18 egg omlet for breakfast!.

That's funny!

Feeding raw eggs to the chickens is not that great of an idea. It could lead to egg eating (when you don't want them to). Just MHO.

I smash and scramble them for feeding-back ... shells and all!

Nope, agreed. Bad idea to let chickens know that eggs are an edible treat.

I give an egg ( two if they are pullet size) per day to each dog (there are two). They love them and I think they enjoy the extra protein- and their coats are really shiny. Of course, if I am running short of eggs, they just have to wait, but it usually isn't more than a day. I do have a problem with one hen laying bloody eggs- every now and then, I get a really bloody egg from my BC Marans. I don't have roosters, so it isn't fertile. What causes that?

Its from a blood vessel rupture when the egg is formed. Occasionally it isnt a cause for concern. If its happening frequently though you might want to take her to a vet

Sell(mom and pop shops love fresh eggs)
Again sell, many reptile owners feed eggs to their snakes, etc
You just gotta find out who's interested and who needs em
Donate (if that's allowed in your area, some won't take eggs)
Scramble them up and feed back to your chickens
They can even eat the crushed shells, good for a boost of calcium.

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)

Would one of those "Eggs for Sale" stands with a locked cash box be an option. I absolutely love those and never pass one without trying to buy some eggs if they aren't sold out.

Cook them and give them to the chooks!

I believe they crack them into muffin tins (?) And freeze them like that.

I also scramble them up and freeze them. Or separate yolk from white, mix each, and freeze.

So far we've been eating them. I have 6 kids though so they are definitely helping.
