What do you do with all those eggs?

getting the same here, we have been making quiche, super easy. figured I would be freezing them, but hubby and I eat them too quickly. experimenting different cheese, spinach, mushroom, bacon bits, older frozen breakfast sausage, all have came out great. Always donate some to a food bank, run out of ideas.

I have a cooler set by the road that i put my eggs in. A small table with a coffee can for paying on it. $3.00 a dozen. No problem getting rid of them. And now, i no longer have to scrounge for egg cartons because neighbors drop off empty cartons all the time for me. This pays for my feed which is awesome. My chickens pay for themselves.

Where did you find a hen bank at? I'd like to get one.

I have no idea, it was my Mom's, maybe my Grandma's ?

Oh, I forgot to add to my list above. I also make half dozen ice packs with some for camping. That is just prescrambled in quart zip locks, some with onions, peppers, and/or diced ham. Freeze a few, forget about those fancy camping cartons, and leave the shells home.

Idk, in the winter when mine freeze they crack open.

We never have to many eggs. We use them for dog food.

If you open the eggs and put them in an ice cube tray they freeze amazing. You just have to get them out of that shell

Plus one of these sandwich makers.

@WVduckchick Does that thing really work? Hard to clean?
I love me an egg sammich.....but get tired of eating eggs.

I hard boil them then put them in a large pickle jar with white distilled vinegar, salt and sugar to taste. Then keep them in the frig. Pretty good if you like pickled eggs.

It actually works pretty well! The flat surfaces swing left and right, and it’s all non-stick, so it cleans up fairly easily.

After I answered you the first time, I got to wondering if my bank may be valuable, I imagine it is, but wondered how valuable. So I looked to see if there was one like it on ebay. I didn't find any just like mine, but I was surprised at how many others I found. I went through the first five or six pages, there were a lot more, and saw some from under $10 to over $300 (mine may be like some of the higher end ones IDK? wasn't really thinking of selling it anyway. . . unless it were maybe Antique Road Show treasure!). I ended up buying another bank to sit by her that looks like a sack of chicken feed for $14 and shipping -- see what you made me do lol. I entered "chicken bank" in the search bar there.

Oooh. Do you have instructions for this?

We would sell after filling out our family and or neighbors. I wouldn't worry about a "sick" egg, etc. What a joke.

In the past we bought some eggs from someone, there were 2 rancid eggs in there and what did we do? Tossed them, did we accuse the seller or go after them? No.
