Awesome! 😍🥚

Do you wash your eggs

Not right away. I wash them just before we eat them.

Well done. I have heard they have protective covering so washing them only before cracking is the way to go.

Have you ever done waterbathing for storage?

No, never tried that, although i've seen it done. If i have way too many eggs i prefer to scramble them 6 at a time, then freeze them. To me its easier. I also share with family/friends sometimes. But we eat lots of eggs.

Thank you for the info it’s greatly appreciated!

Very welcome😊

Amazing!

I fell in the egg rabbit whole and realized that where I live, eggs are refrigerated but are sold with expiry date of 60-70 days.

I bet they loose all their nutrient by the time I eat them.

I’ve been looking around for fresh eggs from farmers…

Before i got my own chickens i would buy eggs from a lady nearby, who had lots of them. Once you've had good yard eggs, there's no going back.

The only problem is that I live in the city and our winters go to -40 Celcius. What do I do in the winter?

Thats pretty cold. Maybe a small greenhouse enclosure for them? A few chickens dont need alot of space.

Damn, just looked at my borough regulations and we are not allowed to have any chickens….

That sucks😒

What type of chickens produce those coloured eggs? Those are the Easter eggs, right?

I think color variation is normal for eggs.

My flock is mixed. Barred rock, Cinnamon Queen, Easter eggers. I think a mixed flock is hardier.

There's real food!

Nice gifts!
