Hi Deeds

Luckily, there is a whole thread to give you ideas - eggs eggs and more eggs

i'll merge this later once you have more input

eggs, bought 30 smashed 9 may also help you see you're not alone!

freezing eggs should also be helpful

Oh for goodness sake.

What do you do when a bit of shell falls in your egg when you crack it then? Bin it?! I think we all know that eggs come out of hens' bums thanks.

Of course you can use them if the membrane is broken. They were all intact when they were bought weren't they?

...but they don't come out of hens' bottoms - hen poo comes out of hens' bottoms, eggs come out of hens' egg tubey-thingy (how technical am I!!)

I think it all comes out of the cloaca, poop, wee, eggs, hen sex happens in there too.

Eggs anyone?

As long as they had a shell on before I ate them, then yes please!!

Which is why I opted for the more general term 'bum':)

You cannot possibly prepare an egg without some of it coming into contact with some of the outside shell. Or maybe there are some people who wash their eggs before consumption.

Do you think??

Pardon the pun but I think thats really anal washing eggs before you do anything with them

Besides they never have poop on them when you buy them anyway, they always look clean.

That's worse - the shell is porous, so if you wash the egg, any dirt on the outside can be washed through the shell into the egg. If my hens' eggs are a bit mucky, I wipe it off with a damp cloth

My mum asked me one day if I washed my hens' eggs before I used them.

I lied and said yes.



I only wipe them if they have obvious poo on them. Otherwise they are used as they are.

I love my hens. Even though Deidre Hen invaded the kitchen last night and did a chicken splat on the floor, and then danced around in it and spread it around. Sigh. Like I don't have enough to do .... :rotfl:

I was given some eggs and already had tons in the fridge. Can I make quiches and things and then freeze them?
