WHAT THE HECK DO I DO WITH ALL THESE EGGS?!

[sumi]

When I started selling eggs I was the only supplier in quite a large area for real free range eggs and then I sold them at exactly half what the supermarket was selling their so-so eggs for (their price was ridiculous at the time). I never had enough eggs for everyone that wanted.

And I had between 50 and 60 layers

When I get too many eggs, I donate to the local food pantry. Or church food pantries.

Our feed store takes donated eggs from customers and delivers them to the local homeless shelter. Way cool.

Been a while since I've had too many eggs. When I do, I usually just make quiche.

I gave away most of the eggs from my hens before they went on strike. Mostly to neighbours and friends. But we only got about 3-4 eggs a day.

I am going to have to try lemon curd. Do you water bath can it?

 

[Hinotori]

Yes. Half pints only, 15 minutes. Only lasts 3-4 months canned

It's high acid and has lots of sugar.

How many Serama eggs does it take to make a sandwich????

 

[Hinotori]

Little eggs are the best. Dad only counts yolks so to get him to eat less she gives him silkie eggs. They aren't as small as serama though

I hear you... I skipped collecting eggs yesterday, today I gathered up 44. I usually get 12 to 14 a day but my first brood of 13 from early spring have now come into full lay now. So it's looking like I'll be averaging somewhere around 20 a day now. At least until I process the older hens - just waiting for it to cool off a little more first.
