Yes, I often did that when we kept chickens and had a glut of eggs. I
found it more convenient to beat and freeze them in small batches (2 or
3 eggs). Then you can defrost as many as you need to use for scrambled
eggs, omelettes, custard and cake baking etc.

If you have a dog, then a raw egg twice a week is a treat they enjoy.

Save all the empty egg shells, bake them when you have the oven on for
something else, then crush them into grit and feed it back to the
chickens. Extra calcium keeps their bones and egg shells strong.
