Here is a way to preserve your farm fresh eggs for winter or to just add them to your storage.
Want to try this method? Here’s how
• Load your clean jar of bucket with your clean (no debris stuck to them), but unwashed farm fresh eggs
• Measure out a quart of water and add 1 (weighted) ounce of pickling lime to the water, stir and pour over your eggs
• Repeat this until your eggs are covered by 1-2 inches with water/lime mixture. For every quart of water you will need to mix in 1 weighted ounce of pickling lime
• Cover jar and store in a cool dark place.
Note:
*this will last for up to two years if done correctly and stored correctly.
**if you wash the eggs prior to this process you will compromise the seal which will allow the lime water to leach into your eggs which will compromise the egg rendering it no good.
Wanted to draw some complex shapes and capture the morning sun. It got hot fast 😓 farm fresh eggs were courtesy of a friend and made an eggcelent breakfast.
We have 16 chickens and love the fresh eggs we get daily. Inspired to create a Rhode Island Red rooster. Modern, traditional and farmhouse beauty!

Not sure when this started happening… but we definitely emptied the nest boxes last night and tonight 5 of our 6 boxes had an egg! We have randomly had a couple large elongated eggs, but so far their first eggs had been small and long, so I didn’t think we had a new layer. I guess I was wrong! 🥚
