Being new to raising chickens for eggs, we got eight girls (dual purpose) on March 5th, 2022 from Tractor Supply. Girls were a week old or less. This is to give a perspective as the water glassed eggs are six months or less. I decided to try some this morning as a test.
Fried eggs - I did not like them but dogs ate them. Might be our dog food till we use them up as we can keep up with the eggs through the winter production.
Scrambled - not bad, especially with some ketchup and bacon. I would eat these again.
I did have two out of ten eggs that I immediately discarded due to texture, etc before even cooking.
I have not tried them in baking. Since we do very little baking requiring eggs, we would use our fresh eggs.
Water glassing appeared to be the most reasonable to us based upon my research, viewing Youtube, etc. We probably have ten dozen or so glassed. If I had the money, freeze dried would probably be the best solution.
Figured I would give my actual experience since so many are thinking about getting chickens. If anyone has some better methods that they have actually tried, please let us know. Youtube videos can be a bit biased.
