What do you do with your extra eggs?

[shelleyd2008]

I try to sell whatever the hens don't decide to sit on, but that doesn't happen too often. Mostly my dad ends up taking eggs to church and sells some and gives the rest away.

According to the Ball Blue Book, they will last 12 months.
One thing to note....weigh a large chicken egg without shell and weigh what goes into the cube. I have large cube trays and each one is the equivilent of one large chicken egg.

I freeze them and pop them out into a Tupperware freezer container (of course

) for a few hours to make sure they are frozen hard. Then I fill ziplock freezer bags and put in the deep freeze.

I figure this should last me the winter or at least holiday baking season.

Usually my ducks pretty much lay all year round, but with us moved to a new waaaay colder climate, I am preparing for the inevitable egg strike.

I don't have many extra eggs just to find something to do with. I need more hens...31 just isn't enough!

BUT

We blow them out ane use them for decorations.
Use them as little flower pots for seedlings and small plants.

Egg-actly!

I'm trying to fill 2 requests for eggs this week. My girls can't lay them fast enough to please my customers. I only get to eat the pullet eggs or marred shelled ones.

I sell 15 dozen a week to one person it is great.

Well as my 28 Hoodlums never seem to slow down laying I am getting 2 dozen per day...no way do I use that many. I sell some and then donate the est to the local churches. If not, they will go bad and get tossed. I delivered 4 flats this morning and have 2 flats and a dozen ready to deliver...and I have not picked up their eggs yet this morning!

This intrigues me. Never heard of freezing eggs. Are they raw or hard boiled before you "press them through a sieve" ?

If raw, when they are defrosted, can they be used to make scrambled eggs or is their defrosted condition make them suitable only for adding them to a baking batter for cookies, cakes, breads, etc.

If hard cooked, when they are defrosted, can they be used to serve as egg salad or to hide them in a raw meatloaf and then baked in the oven?

Thanks,

I'm still waiting for eggs

I ran out again today and it's 10 miles one way to the store, so no eggs for me!

I need eggs for my fresh pasta - that's 5 to 1 pound of flour. I never eat store pasta anymore. DH loves his egg on a roll and I bake all the time. The two of us go through so many eggs it's crazy.

I'm going outside now to have another talk with the girls.....
