What now?

[Hippy_Joe]

So, I raised my five girls!(No roosters) They just started laying eggs last week. My question is that I don't really know what to do with the eggs. Right now I just take them out the coop wash them and put them in a box in the fridge till we eat them. How long can I keep them? What happens when I have 25-30 eggs a week? Any comments would be great!

Somewhere there is a thread with a discussion on washing eggs. It was interesting to see the different views. We don't wash our until we are ready to eat them. When my eggs start to stack up, I start giving them to neighbors and friends. It is much easier than making cookes!

Of course, I watch to see who is most pleased to get the eggs. They stay on the list.

Lately I have found two egg heavy recipees I love.

1) I make fresh ground whole wheat bread dough, roll it out as if to make cinnamon rolls, but instead of filling it with cinnamon and sugar and butter, I put a jar of salsa and slightly underdone scrambled eggs. I let them rise and back and "ta da" I have on the go breakfast rolls that supply protien and fiber. I store them in the freezer and warm in microwave.

2) Bread pudding. I made it with whole wheat bread and no rasins. Used canned milk instead of regular. It took 8 eggs for a 9x13 pan. It was YUMMY!

Eggs will last a couple of weeks in the fridge. As far as the excess eggs, give them away or sell them.
