How do you dispose of incubated eggs that are clear?

[Sylviaanne]

Out of my 29 guinea eggs, 15 are clear or not developing like the others. A big difference or I would keep them. Mostly these are clear. How do you dispose of your un-incubatable eggs? Sylvia

I feed mine back to the chickens. Crack them into a bucket of feed, stir it well and feed. Crush the shells and stir them in also. Eggs with late quitting chicks go in the trash.

Yes I also feed them to the chickens. I cook them and crush them and feed them to the newly hatched chicks

I think from now on I will start hard boiling my clear eggs first, then feed to the chickens...I cracked a couple open after a 7 day incubation and they are really slimy and gooey and stuck to the sides of the inside of the egg. Yuck!

Was that one bad?

Thanks everyone. I have been burying the bad eggs and chicks that didn't make it. I am concerned that even though we buried them, that with the amount of eggs that are not making it, that an animal might be able to sniff them out like cadaver dogs and we would have an unwelcome population around here.

For ethnic food enthusiasts there's always Balut. But for us with weaker stomachs, boiling them and feeding back to the flock seems like the smartest way to dispose of them.

Ok, you had to know I would ask: What is Balut? LOL Sylvia

I dig a hole in the veggie garden, drop them in, cover them, then pierce the shovel through the soil to fracture them so I have no bombs. It definitely helps in the case of bad eggs and reuses compostable materials.

I don't give them to the chickens though I am sure they would enjoy them.

You have to read ozexpats thread and learn about Filipino cuisine (and enjoy his adventures).

This is not for the weak stomached:

but isn't balut a partially developed chick? The OP's talking about clear eggs, that never started developing. I don't think she's wanting to dispose of developing chicks.
