What do you do with your frozen eggs???

[LtDanFan]

So as one of those living in the great white north, despite me going to the chicken yard several times daily, sometimes i find frozen eggs which were probably laid the day before or overnight and not in a nestbox.
I have started a jar for these eggs to use for egg wash and scrambled eggs, but am curious what other people do with frozen eggs.
I am thinking i can also cook them and feed them to the chickens and tortoises as a source of protein.
So tell me, what do you do with frozen eggs?

I surprisingly only ended up with a couple frozen eggs all winter this year, so I just feed them back to the chickens, cat, or dog, they all love scrambled eggs.

I feed them back to the birds. If I'm giving them to the ducks I boil the eggs first because my ducks aren't fond of raw egg, but if I'm feeding them to the chickens I'll just bring the eggs in to thaw and then crack them outside raw. No sense dirtying a pot when you don't have to.

I feed the yolk to the dog

Do you just put it in a bowl for them to “drink”? I was thinking of scranbling it and then spreading it around for them. I’m trying to picture them drinking a raw egg out of a bowl.
I know the tortoises seem to prefer them cooked as they’ve had hardboiled eggs before plus i can i imagine that raw egg would be super messy in their enclosure.

Feed them back to the chickens or the dogs, scrambled usually and with shells

One option is to put a bit of their usual dry feed in a bowl, then crack the egg on top of that. Any egg they do not drink will just soak into the feed and then they eat that too.

Honestly? I usually just chunk them wherever I'm at when I remember they're in my pockets, whether that's on top of the dry feed, in the middle of the driveway, off the front porch, etc. The chickens do a pretty good job "slurping" egg up wherever it lands. Some residue will be left, obviously, which is why I don't crack them into empty bowls - I'd rather the bit of egg residue disappear into the lawn or gravel rather than have to scrub egg yolk out of a bowl. Like NatJ mentions, cracking them on top of the feed is probably the best option.
