SELL them to friends and family to help offset the expenses associated with housing, feeding, etc. DONATE them to a local food bank or check with your volunteer fire departments that still have crews that cook. Scramble them and freeze in freezer bags for use later in cooking, baking, eating. FEED to your other pets and when the eggs are super heavy, scramble them and feed back to the hens!
Put an ad on Craig’s list and sell Fresh eggs. There are a lot a people who really want fresh farm eggs and to know the eggs they are buying and eating came from happy, healthy hens.
If you have kids, talk to the kids parents and tell them you sell eggs. Even if you only got 1.50 a doz, that can go towards the upkeep.

>Congratulations Laura! Sure would take a bunch of those things to make an omelette! I was excited too a few months ago when my RIRs started to lay. Now I'm getting almost an egg a day out of all 15. I've got eggs coming out of my ears!!!! Well have to go peal some hard boiled eggs **LOL**
I have thirteen hens and am getting 11 to 12 eggs a day. What do you
do with all the eggs? I really can't sell them, since I live in town
and I'm not supposed to have any.
They really are quite wonderful.
