Yes plain water with pickling lime added to it. I keep the jars in the basement to use over the winter when the chickens aren’t laying as much. The whites got a little thinner but still made perfect over easy eggs

Ok cool. I love eggs so they would never make the water. I don’t have my own chooks have to get them at the farmers market.

So I guess end of season buy a bunch and put in water may be a good way to go. Supermarket eggs suck.

Excuse my ignorance but what is pickling lime?

From what I have read refrigerated store bought eggs don’t work with this. I believe some have tried but it’s not for me.

The nice this is you can add eggs over time. This isn’t canned or sealed you can open it and take one egg out and close it up again. The lime works with sealing the bloom some how so as long as they stay submerged they will stay fresh.

This is pickling lime
