I too dreamt of buying acreage a bit outside of town and driving in for work but real estate is just crazy expensive within 90 minutes of Kansas City. I've got a half acre now and I think I'm getting to the point where I'll just work with what I've got, much like yourself.<br /><br />Thanks for writing by the way. I was in a bit of a funk but reading some of your early posts really helped pick me up spirits wise.Diggity Doghttp://www.deathtozombies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798347790289310925.post-68813850289432769542009-11-11T05:12:50.219-08:002009-11-11T05:12:50.219-08:00Hey there!

Now I need to get them in the ground. <br />I wished I would have frozen some of my hen eggs when we were overrun with them in the summer. I am getting only 2-3 a day now. We just hatched out 21 Rhodies in the incubator. So hopefully that will mean lots of eggs next summer.<br />I enjoy your posts and have you under my favorites list on my blogspot.<br />Have a great day!<br />Kelly @KatydidsKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884918448853796408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798347790289310925.post-20299701558125856982009-11-09T22:52:03.120-08:002009-11-09T22:52:03.120-08:00I just found your blog... very nice to find someon...I just found your blog... very nice to find someone getting it done!

I will definately be trying it.

Here are the steps I use:<br />*Crack the eggs into a large bowl and use a fork to break up the yolks. Add a pinch (or two) of salt.<br />*Pour the eggs into ice cube trays and freeze.<br />*Dump the trays into Food Saver bags and vacuum seal the bags to keep Mr. Freezerburn away.<br />*One cube = one egg...put cubes in fridge overnight before using for baking to allow them to thaw.<br /><br />I've read that they are not very good eaten scrambled, but they're fine for cooking. This is my first year with the chickens, so this technique is still in it's experimental phase! LOL! But, I've read about other bloggers using eggs that are frozen this way. You wouldn't believe the difference in your eggs next year...I don't know how we're going to go back to store bought eggs this winter, but it looks like we'll have to for fried and scrambled eggs.Dr. Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13794020810034768392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798347790289310925.post-22774152130766086652009-11-03T22:46:35.794-08:002009-11-03T22:46:35.794-08:00I just started reading your blog and I am really e...I just started reading your blog and I am really enjoying it. We live on one acre in Alaska and we are wanting to be more self sufficient. We are planning on raising chickens this coming spring, so I was very curious about you freezing eggs. I have never heard of that before. Do you freeze them shell and all or do you have to crack them? When you use them in backing how do you thaw them? I would love to know more.
