what do you do with dead eggs?

[Cynthia12]

Ziplock, to outside garbage, which is hopefully only a day or two away from being picked up.

i just threw away 14 eggs. trash can. since i'm in the city.... i have 2 more mystery eggs... one i can't tell if it's alive or not and one is alive but seems to have stopped growing ten days ago... it just looks like an amoeba. it's only in the bator still because i am curious about what will happen...

Gather them in a basket, walk down to the creek, toss them in one at a time and watch them float away on the current... good times.

I'm with a few of the others...mine go in a ziplock bag (the good kind, not the "I'm not sure if it is really zipped" kind) and I throw them in the trash. I usually break them when they are in the bag, though, so I can poke around and try to figure what went wrong without the danger of an exploding egg or stinking up the house.

Nice to know that I'm not the only one playing National Geographic with my dud eggs.

they enter the garden and become plant food

I guess I am the odd one out...I do a mini autopsy, I want to know why they died & if something is medically wrong with my stock or if I am doing something wrong.

I do have to agree the rotten egg bombs are not fun...unless tossing them at your ex or my "ahem" mother.
Gloves, smock, protective eyewear, face mask or shield & a shower cap to protect your hair is a must. If only a handful in a large clutch died early I will just burn them & use their ashes in compost.

If they are developed enuf I like to make lil mini chicken coop dioramas.

Is that weird?

 

[ChickensAreSweet]

I throw mine in the forest. I'm sure something will eat them- worms, ants, coyotes?

Real bad ones go out to the pasture...I like to see if they will bounce or explode. If they are merely a dead chick, the dogs get them.
