What do you like to do with your eggs?

I hard boil a dozen every weekend to take to work for second breakfast during the week.
Every couple weeks I use 24 (bantam) eggs to make two pound cakes. Cut in slices, wrap and freeze. Take a slice to work every day.
Bantam eggs also make great bite sized pickled eggs.
Durigh high production I swirl some together and freeze flat in zip locks, those work well in cake and quiche in winter when production slows.

Thanks for all of the ideas, I’ll give them to my neighbors and eat a lot since we ARE big egg eaters! I’ll also use them for baking since we do that once and a while

I don’t have bantams, my chickens are the ones in my profile picture

Sadly, I probably throw away more than anything.

This saddens me too.
The world needs more chicks. Box those up and send them to me. I won't let them go to waste.

How do you eat them/use them? What do you do with them?

The biggest and best go to my refer. The rest are sold to pay for the feed for 100 plus birds who eat a lot...

I've read about folks baking eggshells before serving them to chickens several times now. What's the benefit and why not just feed them raw?

I believe the reason for baking the eggshells is to kill any bacteria in the shell. And if you plan to store it for feeding later as I do, you want it to be very dry.

You could also donate them to your local food pantry if you have way too many.

My favorite food is breakfast burritos, I am also perfecting a hard-boiled egg recipe. I noticed that when I used eggs from our chickens the deviled eggs tasted very vinegary, even when they had just mayo and mustard. At the moment I am using a German mustard. I also sell some at work for a reasonable price. I also make egg-salad quesadillas . Those are awesome.

I have noticed that my non-egg protein consumption has gone down.
