Thanks so much! This answered many questions and then some!
Awesome comparison. U answered all of my questions. I’m going to try this method. C u on the next video. And kudos to the men that tested them for u?!
I'm so used to store bought eggs…is it just me or do Patara's scrambled eggs look so much 'yellower' than my store bought when scrambled?
Just saw this so probably too late to save the jar. Waterglassing eggs "SEALS" them. This means 1 yuck egg does not destroy the batch. Wash them and check for floaters. Once washed, keep in the refrigerator. You can also hard boil them and grind them up for chicken treats.(shell and all) Poke a tiny hole in the large end or they will break open.
Are these store bought or fresh eggs?
Really interesting.I have not been sure if I should try this method of egg preservation, as I was not sure if I could trust it. The proof is in the pudding. I'm convinced to give it a go..
I would think maybe a thin shell and cracked easier. I will be trying preserving eggs this year and plan on using 1 quart jars. So if one goes bad it dosnt ruin the whole supply.
Great video! Have a Blessed day!
I water glassed last Summer. We have gone through most of them already I rinse them under warm water before cracking them to create a bit of temperature change. I had one crack while doing this. I figured that one was going bad so I got rid of it. I also found a couple with a hair line crack in them and cooked them for the dogs. Other than that they have been fabulous to have this winter. I crack one at a time in a small bowl and smell it before adding to the big bowl. I will be doing this again this summer. I also stored them under the counter and left them alone till we need to use them. If I were you I wouldn't just throw out the whole jar of eggs. I would check each one and cook the ones that seemed good and feed them back to the chickens.
I had Black Copper Marans and Black Australorps. They laid all through the winter last year. They lay large brown eggs. Look them up. They are great all around.
I crack eggs into a small dish and then add them to the large bowl. That way if you have a rotten one the whole batch doesn’t get ruined.
I have a new flock of 7 for my backyard. They just started laying and I’m so excited. I usually buy organic layer 18% protein feed. The price has gone up so I will be checking other small towns around for family owned feed stores. God bless you and yours.
My eggs was good I through away yesterday a guy didn't like the looks
Why not just freeze dry them?

My chicken's born last spring laid all winter here. I'm expecting a molt cone July or August this year. Just an FYI. Had a light in part of the winter Nov-mid Jan then shut it off .
I would have tested the eggs on my picky dog first…
Great information to know! Thank you for sharing…
I appreciate you pointing out failures in your storage. It demonstrates honesty. Listening to others, one would think water glassing is a perfect solution. It's not. The only truth here is that it was the only viable method during the 19th century.
I am not being entirely dismissive. I understand why some might opt to utilize that preservation technique today due to need and volume of egg harvest. I couldn't.
I don’t see any broken in my jars. We don’t move the jars. And we’re careful in choosing the eggs to water-glass. Must be clean, good solid shells, fresh, etc. I’ve read not to reuse solution.
My first time. We’ll see how it goes.
I just did my first half-gallon jar! I was able to fit 16 of my freshest eggs into that jar. I'm excited to have them for this winter when my girls stop laying. Thank you for sharing!
You need to wash the eggs before you crack them to avoid the lime getting in them.
Love my water glasses eggs. Mine have been good for 18 months.
Townsend in Pierceton, Indiana? I live nearby. He has great videos on many subjects. ❤
I've raised chickens for 58 years. I've been cooking for about 56 years. One thing I learned from my Grandma was to always break each egg seperately into a small bowl before combining either with other eggs or into baking or cooking. This prevent having to toss a whole batch of anything. I cannot recommend this strongly enough. It takes a few seconds more. But so worth it.
Since I have ducks, guineas and chickens, I also candle my eggs before I rinse them to use them. I do not wash or rinse them until I use them. Nor do I refrigerate my eggs and they last for months.
