egg storage

I have 6 dozen eggs in our extra fridge. Went to put more in today and the fridge had died! It was Not cool in the fridge so I have no idea how long it has been dead. Put eggs in 2 days ago and it was fine. Do I just lose all these eggs? Are they ok if I float test first? Please help guide me! I...

What do you use to hold your duck eggs? Do chicken egg holders work or would the product be too narrow, or slots too close together?

I've been thinking about how to store our fresh eggs and I really enjoy the idea of a skelter (egg slide, whatever you'd like to call it) but I don't want it on the counter taking up space. I was thinking of making some sort of egg skelter shelf for a bare wall we have in the kitchen. I've done...

Does anyone know if water glassing or coating eggs with mineral oil will preserve quail eggs long term (several months), like for chicken eggs? I don't plan to artificially light my birds next winter, so I'm just preparing this summer when the over-abundance of eggs come. I can't seem to find...

I’m going to do a hatch! I’m collecting my own eggs for the first time ever, and was wondering about the sizes. I’ve got some red hyline layers that are 1 1/2 years old laying 70-100g eggs, I’m keeping the best of the 70-80g ones. My Marans has only been laying for 2 1/2 months, but I really...

Hello, I'm still new here and I was wondering if anyone else out there uses an egg basket or bowl to display their eggs on the counter like I do. I keep mine on the counter in an egg basket. They are so.pretty, all the different colors. Let's see your eggs and baskets or whatever you use to...

Do you wash the eggs that you sell? At what point? How do you store the eggs between collection time and sale time? How long is that time period usually? Did I ask enough questions? haha...

I have some broody birds on my farm, and sometimes I'm away for two or three days. I collect eggs as soon as I can, but my broody gals sit on the eggs from the moment they are laid. Does anyone know if they can be sat on for a day or two before being put in a chilled 55 degree basement for...

Could you all provide your knowledge or advice to a question I have. So I get an abundance of eggs daily. All through the winter I have got eggs. Here in MD on the eastern shore we have had a pretty cold winter this year. I do not have a fridge to store my eggs in. I have did loads of reasearch...

I have had my flock for 8 months now and the other day a friend sent me the following post from Lisa Steele's site: http://www.fresheggsdaily.com/2015/01/why-should-eggs-be-stored-pointy-end.html I had never heard this before! I have always stored mine pointy side up since that's how they are...

I didn't see anything posted like this, but people I've spoken with thought it was ingenious, so I thought I'd pass this on to you! Take some egg rings, like the pic below, and put them into a pan on the stove over medium-ish heat. Now, crack your egg into it. Once the bottom starts to set...

I am always looking for improvements as far as increased hatch rates. No matter if it will be performed by my trusty broody hens or my climate controlled incubators. No matter the method I choose, I feel that if my eggs are stored correctly while I am waiting for enough inventory to place into...
