You can also crack eggs open and freeze them
Also some people dip them in oil and theyll store at room temp for several months.
We got the neighbors to the south on board. He loaded in a lot of water yesterday.
That's different. I know my mom sits eggs at room temp for up to a month. But her chickens lay over a dozen eggs a day. She cant give them away fast enough.
Preps this last week: Upgraded stock in sanitation (lysol spray and wipes, bleach, soap), vitamins, and rechargeable batteries. Food and water in pretty good shape.
I'm pretty good as far as food and water goes but toiletries are probably where I'd run out at the 30 day mark, so today I will be buying toiletries (toilet paper, toothpaste, extra toothbrushes, paper towels, sanitizing wipes, bleach, etc) Probably get a couple more cases of water as well, but finding room to store it is becoming a pita
PSA-
That only works for fresh laid eggs and not store bought eggs. US commercial eggs are required to always wash eggs to get off any possible dirt which also takes off the natural protective layer (bloom). That allows air and germs to get in via small pores in the egg shell, so they must be refrigerated. As I understand it, Europeans don't wash eggs unless they are dirty, so they remain protected and can sit on the counter for several weeks. Home chicken raisers may follow either path.
Second PSA-
I raise chickens and tried a form of long-term preservation this year. I get annoyed with having chickens and then having to buy store bought in the middle of winter when they reduce egg production. You put a mixture of hydrated lime (pickling lime) and water in a bucket and then fill it with unwashed eggs. Supposedly they can keep for up to 2 years that way, but I kept some of my spring eggs for 7-8 months in a 2-gal bucket and ate them in this winter. Worked fine, though the yolks were softer than fresh and sometimes broke when I opened the eggs. They work fine for scrambled, hard boiled and baking, not easy over. Pickled eggs are another way to preserve, though I've never tried that.
Hoosier hill farm still had some.
Tried another place but never got confirmation email and no customer service answered when I called hours later.
Big win!
I finaly got the spouse on board and working with me.
Big win!
Yes. Yes it is.
If Mrs. IBM was still among us, there would have been no issue with me having to convince her.
