    We get 20-30 eggs every day. I have dehydrated eggs in my pantry but have never had to use them. We also don’t wash any eggs until we’re ready to use them. They are stored in cartons in my cottage refrigerator. We have such an excess that we donate to a food bank every week and I keep my mom supplied with eggs too. Mike found a clutch of eggs one time when a hen decided to lay hers in the corner of the goat house. We used the float test and only had 1 bad egg. I love my chickens and can’t imagine life without them. God Bless!

    I water glass eggs every year. I use pickling lime, 4 level TBSP to one quart water. I've eaten eggs that are two years old with this method, love them!

    I was taught by my mom to always crack an egg into a separate bowl. She was brought up during the depression so you can't waste anything, so never put an egg into the other ingredients till you know it's a good egg. 😊

    I recently started dehydrating our eggs. Our ladies are laying around a dozen a day. I tested the 1st batch out after storing them for 2 weeks. I was skeptical at first, but very pleased when I ate them. They tasted as good as fresh! I will not be water glassing my eggs any longer!

    I waterglassed some for the first time last year. I don't need to try them because I have fresh eggs. Your video reminded me to get them out and cook them up for the animals. I always keep dehydrated eggs on hand too. Thank God for chickens!
    Edit: You were right. They had been in the pickling lime for about 7 months and they were watery. My animals will be thrilled with them though

    Ran into a woman the other day whose neighbor is getting 4-5 dozen eggs PER DAY! So I told her to tell the woman she can preserve by water glassing, dehydrating, or freezing. Also told her of a store near her that sells local eggs, so hopefully they'll all be getting used soon, rather than wasted.

    Yes! I have just made 2 Mason jars of water glassed eggs. I get about 6-8 eggs in glass. 3 tbs of pickeling lime and a quart of filtered water. You can use gallon jars etc. Store in cool dry place. I did mine about two weeks ago so at end of month I'm gonna test the quality. Now only thing is placing eggs in jars pointy side down! And don't Crack them when putting in jars or can't use. Also want to use fresh eggs with bloom still on. I'll share how it goes.

    Thank you so much for this video Heidi. I really appreciate it. I feel stupid because I didn't dehydrate eggs when they were available. We are lacking eggs in Norway 😢. Some years ago, we didn't find butter for Christmas, this time for Easter, we don't find eggs. These are examples that we have to be prepared for the lack of food. And we are even blessed, we find other types of food. 😊 God bless you Heidi ❤🙏❤

    In the UK, during ww2, water glassing eggs was very popular. They would be put in a big galvanised bucket, inside a wire egg basket, to lift them with. They would be covered with the solution, lid on, in the pantry. They would keep for months.

    I moved across the country and had no refrigerator. I bought one from Facebook marketplace and got ripped off.
    FORTUNATELY, I was able to purchase DOZENS of UNWASHED EGGS that lasted all through the winter!! I wish I hadn't run out, but I'm hoping to get some "used" hens😂.
    In the meantime, I am using my kitchen floor to "refrigerate" my nasty Walmart eggs and haven't died yet. I'm HOPING to have a "new" refrigerator by June as it's not as chilly as it once was😂.
    I may have to pickle my eggs until then, but that sounds yummy (use for deviled???) also.
    I'm not intentionally living like a prepper, but I may as well make the best of my circumstances and determine what CAN be safely done to preserve my food in whatever unconventional way is possible, right?

    Warning! If you have an egg that has started developing, (I live in an area of Texas where late Spring through early Fall the ambient temp stays warm enough to incubate sometimes) they will not float! Breaking them one at a time into a separate container will avoid an unpleasant surprise from ruining your batter, or whatever you're making.

    When my daughter and family were living in Thailand, the eggs in the grocery store was just out on the open shelf right along with canned goods. She took them home and left them on a shelf out in the open in her kitchen. She had no problem with them and they were not in a cool place. I understand this is common in other places around the world as well. But, yes, I do powder my extra eggs as well.

    • @RainCountryHomestead
      @RainCountryHomestead  4 місяці тому

      This would be common if the eggs were left unwashed because the bloom, which is a coating the hen adds to the eggs just before she lays them, is what preserves them and they can last several months like that

      I just did my first batch of dehydrated eggs yesterday. It was so easy and they look great! I hope you try it! I got 36 of our average sized eggs into one quart jar. It took about 12 hours total. I dehydrated for 10, then powdered them and put them back in for two hours (that was a tip I saw in the comments on another of Heidi’s videos from another listener). We use an Excalibur dehydrator and I set it to 115 degrees, for reference.

    I have not convinced my husband to get a few chickens, and I have quite a few neighbors who I know will sell me eggs. Currently, I buy from a couple that attends my church, and that is working out well. I have tried the water-glassing method, and I liked how they came out and lasted a good while. I've also tried the oiling method--and they stay good, but there's something a little odd about the way the yoke sticks in there, like almost stuck to the shell. So I won't be doing that any more. You're right about how much room water-glassed eggs take up. I can see doing some that way, especially since me and my husband both like sunny-side-up eggs. But the next thing I really must do is powdered dehydrated eggs. I need to work up my courage--it’s a new thing, and I hesitate badly with new things!

    When we get ready to freeze eggs we use the silicone cupcake cups set inside metal cupcake pans, scramble 1 egg per cup, cover, freeze, pop em out of the silicone cup, put how ever many eggs wanted in a food saver bag, remove air, seal, date & stack in freezer. Works great even after a year the eggs still tastes the same as fresh.
    Still haven't tried dehydrating it is definitely on the very long list of learn to do's. lol

    I think the fishy smell is because of lethicin. Like anything cooked with soybean oil to me smells fishy and so I had stopped using that years ago. Egg yolks have lethicin in them so that might be the cause.

    I've waterglassed eggs...I suggest a person uses a half gallon or smaller container. Sometimes you'll have a weak egg and a few months in it'll break, then you have to toss the contents of that jar.
    My son likes pickled eggs. Though they aren't USDA approved, they turn out fine. I figured if they can sell them in local stores, I can make them also. I don't have a refrigerator. I have a chest freezer that I firm on a couple times a day to keep the stuff at the bottom frozen, and the refrigerator type stuff on the top cool.
    Most of my eggs stay out unwashed. If I get too many, I'll wash them and coat them with mineral oil and give them away to neighbors. I have chickens and ducks.
    BTW, I found out from a person who's allergic to chicken eggs that they can eat duck eggs just fine.

      Everyone I know who keeps chickens does this, not just me. It is a common practice. It is not at all the same thing you are talking about
