Â* Hens laying now , that is . Well at least 2 , might be more but today
we got 2 eggs . Which brings me to a question . In the not-too-distant future we're going to have more eggs than we can eat . Has anyone here preserved eggs by beating them then freezing ? I know they can't be frozen in the shell , but I'm not sure about lightly beating them then freezing . Considering using ice trays if we try that so we can thaw small portions as needed . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

That's why I eat eggs from "vegetarian fed" chickens. There are some types of recycling I just can't get behind. > I hope people who bite their nails don't swallow then. It's ok as long as you don't bite other people's nails and swallow them. Cindy Hamilton |

During the war my grandmother kept hens for the eggs (and stewed hen) and when there were too many eggs she used to place them in an enormous earthen pot and pour water mixed with isinglass over them. They would sit there until winter. They were fine used in cooked products like cakes/pastry etc. even fried but I hated the way a boiled egg tasted. |

I also freeze fritattas, perfect for a quick meal. >> I don't keep chickens but I put all egg shells into my composter. |

The advantage of the isinglass was you didn't have to do anything except submerge them at the time, then you could use when you wanted as you would use fresh eggs. |

The point of storing a glut of eggs is to have eggs for general use when chickens go offlay in winter. Then there's a resting period when they produce no eggs at all. Janet UK |

I think I have heard of putting a whole egg in each ice cube section, freezing, and then
dropping them into a plastic freezer bag and storing in the freezer. I haven't done it. N. |

You should find lots of 'shrooms growing in the woods, I see lots along my hedgerows, sometimes right in the lawn.
