What do you do with extra eggs?

[Christina1968]

Hello everyone! I was curious what everyone does with all the extra eggs that you get. My girls lay over a dozen a day so that can add up quickly. We do sell eggs to people but sometimes we have alot so I was wondering what are all the ways you use your eggs! Either in cooking, storing, or anything else I'd love to know! Thanks!

We run our extra eggs thru a blender and dehydrator. Basically homemade powdered eggs. Lots of YouTube vids on how-to.

Otherwise chickens LOVE scrambled eggs.

Chickens also love raw eggs, bugs, worms and poop. There's almost nothing they won't eat

I personally wouldn't cook food for scavengers

I have given most of my eggs to a local church food bank for the last 3 years after having grown weary with haggling with folks over the price of them. Most people around here think farm fresh eggs should be cheaper than store bought ones.

I usually use my eggs up by making pickled eggs, breakfast casseroles, and giving a ton away to friends and family. The girls are laying a little less now with all the heat but back in April and May I got over 400 eggs each month

I make fresh pastas, quiches to freeze), and more.

You could search for other threads on this topic. I know there have been several over the years.

I sometimes make hard boiled eggs (eat them plain, or on a salad with lettuce and other greens, or in egg salad sandwiches, or as deviled eggs, or various other ways.)

Yorkshire Pudding is one of my go-to ways of using lots of eggs. I posted my recipe in a previous thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/help-we-have-to-many-eggs.1493154/page-2#post-24948027

If you are cooking a recipe that calls for eggs, try using more than the recipe says. My pancake and waffle recipes work fine with 3x the eggs they originally called for. My tapioca pudding and rice pudding recipes are also fine with extra eggs, but I forget exactly how much I increase those by.

You can mix up cookie dough and freeze it to bake later, or bake cookies now and freeze them to eat later (plan ahead for the next holiday! Maybe Fourth of July?)

Eggs can also be stored for quite a long time in the refrigerator. If you write the date on the eggs or on the carton, you can be sure to cook with the oldest ones first, so you don't have a few going bad in the back of the fridge.

Not sure where to reply to this but i grew up making yorkshire pudding in muffin tins. Just put the requisite fat in each well and a glob of pudding afterward.
We won’t mention that most of the Yorkshire puddings i ate as a child were from store bought mixes courtesy of the British grocery store 2 towns away…still required eggs though. The family recipe apparently didnt travel across the atlantic with my father.
But i am excited to try this one at our next family dinner thank you for sharing!!
