What do you do with all your eggs?!

[Laodicia]

Hi everyone!

I have only THREE hens, which are just about to lay (one started six days ago), but I know many of you have a dozen, two dozen, maybe more, hens!

And it got me to thinking. Do you sell your eggs? Give them to family? Just eat a LOT of eggs?! Maybe some of your hens are senior citizens and don't lay anymore.

So, I'm interested to know, what do you do with all your eggs?

Sour dough coffee cakes.
The starter forces you to bake and cake freezes spectacularly!

Oh, my... do you have a recipe for such a delicious sounding thing?
I love a good coffee cake and I always have a starter bubbling away.

I usually make 3 cakes at a time because well theres so much starter by the time i get around to it. (I havent thrown any out yet) and the topping recipe makes too mubch for one cake.

Eggs can get contaminated from the inside, without the porous shell from having to pick up bacteria?

Yes, there's a type that gets into the eggs from the chicken's infected ovaries

As a backyard owner, I wouldn't worry about it, just follow recommendations and enjoy your eggs.

That is a great idea. 3 cakes for the cost of 1 on your gas to warm the oven.

I visited the CDC page. Time to start thinking about reducing the risk. Thanks for looking out for us.
Reducing the Risk of Salmonella Enteritidis Infection

• Keep eggs refrigerated.
• Discard cracked or dirty eggs.
• Wash hands and cooking utensils with soap and water after contact with raw eggs.
• Eat eggs promptly after cooking.
• Do not keep eggs warm for more than 2 hours.
• Refrigerate unused or leftover egg-containing foods.
• Avoid eating raw eggs (as in homemade ice cream or eggnog). Commercially manufactured ice cream and eggnog are made with pasteurized eggs and have not been linked with Salmonella enteritidis infections.
• Avoid restaurant dishes made with raw or undercooked, unpasteurized eggs. Restaurants should use pasteurized eggs in any recipe (such as Hollandaise sauce or caesar salad dressing) that calls for pooling of raw eggs.
