The title says it all.
What do you do with your eggs?
Do you eat them sell them?
Or do you make things with them and sell them?

We eat or use many of them ourselves. I hardboil many of them and have them peeled and ready to eat in the fridge. When we have too many, we give them to friends. We frequently come home to find empty egg cartons hanging on the door handle! If I had 50 chickens, I could sell or give all the eggs away. We have so many people who want them.
 
I admire each and every one as I gather them, telling the girls I think they're just grand and wonderful for laying those beautiful eggs.

I have a plastic, Easter tray to display 12 eggs (shaped like a flat bunny) which I put in my fridge, and where I first place them. As I get more, I start to "offload" them into egg cartons, with some of each color fairly evenly distributed. The eggs which have small poo marks on them stay in the tray, and I'll use those for my own cooking. I happen to like scrambled eggs and omelets a lot. I haven't hard-boiled any yet.

The best eggs in cartons go to work with me, and I give a dozen away here and there, and have started selling some. (Like a drug dealer: the first dozen are free, after that, you'll want to buy some more!)

I get 6 - 8 eggs a day, so I'll take at least one carton of 12 to work each week, sometimes 2.
 
We eat eggs for breakfast almost daily. Usually about 6-7 eggs for the 3 of us.

The dogs get whole eggs occasionally. I get 12-13 daily, so what I don't use in other dishes (deviled eggs, etc..) I give to my IL's or friends of ours.
 
We only have 3 hens and get about 16-19 eggs a week. My husband and I eat most, my dogs get a raw egg with breakfast every few days, and my hens have scrambled eggs and totillas for breakfast once or twice a week.

We've gotten really used to having fresh eggs. My hens are 11 months old and I am dreading their molt and the lack of eggs. Hopefully they won't molt at the same time so we will still get some eggs.
