Frozen eggs....are they 'good' or trash?

[Chic Chick]

It's perfectly ok to use frozen eggs as long as they are clean but they will be a little runny. The dirty ones get tossed to the cats or dog or scrambled and fed back to the chickens. You can also freeze your surplus eggs with a dash of salt or sugar to have on hand for cooking and baking when your chickens aren't laying.

trash, I would be afraid of salmonella

You aren't getting salmonella from a cooked egg unless you fail to follow any proper food handling procedures. If you like to eat your eggs raw or not quite cooked then that's always a risk no matter what the egg has been through and you should probably only be using the cleanest eggs. You do have an immune system for a reason though and far less people get sick from salmonella than are exposed to it considering pretty much anything can give you salmonella. There was a short lived panic on a fish forum I was on once because an article came out saying salmonella could be found in fish tanks.

Every time you handle raw meat you are exposed to more salmonella than either your home flock or a fish tank likely have and if you eat steaks at less than done you are eating a greater potential source of salmonella than a frozen cracked egg probably has.
