I hear the best way to do it is to feed them to the pigs.

Mother would store eggs at first in lime, later she used waterglass.
I find the very best method is to rub each egg with coconut oil and put them in egg cartons. store in the refrigerator. After six months those eggs still seemed fresh, I could fry them. they yellow was still standing up.
I have a simple refrigerator for keeping eggs and apples in.
This year something killed my chickens and we barely have enough. so I only stored 36 eggs.

Dave Moore (from over between West Plains and Thayer somewhere) taught us how to dehydrate eggs. Took Mindy a few times to get it right but she's nailed it! No refrigeration required and they hydrate right back up. We did a blind taste test at one of our group meetings. She cooked up some fresh scrambled and a batch of the dehydrated ones, and challenged anyone to tell the difference. No one - including me - could tell any difference at all.
What took a few times to get right was due to a late hint from Dave. You have to have fresh eggs which are no more than two days old. In other words, store-bought eggs will never work. I'll be happy to send along her procedure.
We're eating the dehydrated eggs as the hens have pretty much quit laying for a while. We'll let the gals have a break until those eggs start running short and then they better pick it up or we'll have lots of stew fixins, especially with a new crop of pullets about ready to start laying.

Could you just post it here in the forum?
I have not yet found a method that I like.

Let me find it; it's kind of long to be posting, but I'll try.

If you can paste a link to the information that'll work too.

Thanks, Tom. It's not on the web anywhere that I'm aware of. Bride took hand-written notes during the seminars and added her modifications to those, which I typed out and distributed to the group. It's odd that I can't find that .doc in my files, though.
BTW, I've been meaning to ask you if you had any of those hand washing machines you'd built still around. Those were sure built right, compared to what's out there.

Walrus, Sorry, I don't have any more tubs available. Yeah, they were designed to last a lifetime. I looked at what was on the market and found them all to be small, poorly designed, with parts that couldn't last. Unfortunately, the shipping costs killed me on selling any outside my local area. I did ship one to Montana, and it cost $180. If you run across your egg dehydrating info be sure to post it.
