Eggs

Posted on April 5, 2022April 5, 2022

I don’t know a great deal, but I do know that Avian Influenza has now been found in Wyoming. I need to do more research, but basically, it can cause illness and death in wild and domestic birds. Well. That’s not good.

I rely quite a bit on my hens. If they end up catching it and dying, I’ll sure miss my fresh eggs!

I’ve decided to try various ways of preserving them.

First… I’m going to freeze some. These will be ones I use in baking.

It’s springtime and time to clean my chicken coop… giving them fresh bedding would help keep my eggs cleaner, but until I do, I’m taking these dirty eggs and washing them well. I then crack them into a bowl.

I go ahead and scramble them up with a fork.

Two eggs fit nicely in a snack ziplock bag.

Labeled and frozen, I’ll feel better having a stockpile of my eggs on hand should my tiny flock catch the flu! I’m also trying some other ways to preserve my eggs, and I’ll share those with you as well.

    Good luck with this. Hope you can stay free of the Avian influenza…your other readers, too.

    We have Avian Flu’ over here and now have a letter from the top UK vet advising what to do. Don’t keep any wild birds so that’s ok. But some supermarkets are no long stocking ‘free range’ eggs.. So I may be freezing eggs too. We’re also warned not to handle any wild bird we might find when out and about in the countryside.

    Okay, now I’m hungry for scrambled eggs. Fresh eggs have a certain look to them — the yolks stand up so nicely.

    I’m interested to see what other ways of storing them you find. I mean what else is there besides freezing for eggs?

    Didn’t realize one could freeze eggs!

    I have a silicone ‘ice’ tray that we freeze cubes of herbs, broth, anything really, in and once frozen we store them in one bag. It’s easy, takes up little space and we can get out what ever portion we need.

    I only wish I had hens. Then I would freeze eggs too!
