Very good descriptions! I finally decided to keep more chickens than I thought I needed. Sometimes even with 7 hens I barely get enough eggs for myself, a single gal! I eat 3-4 eggs per day so I need 6 hens on a good day. In order to account for broody, moulting, bad weather, variation in days laying.... I now keep 11 hens :) In August I start collecting eggs in waterglass and they last thru winter.
I've read, that ground egg shell can be added to biscuit recipes as well. I'll let you know when I try it. Love the information provided. Thank you for explaining and showing the processes.
My husband's doing the buckets for the first time this year. We had a lady doing the eggs with us but I guess with the winter they quit putting out. The $4 eggs are so expensive that we really need to put back more. We are in Mississippi do you know any egg Farmers around.
I am so grateful I just found this your channel. I was looking on Amazon today for powdered eggs and they were so expensive and I have so many eggs that need to be used so this is perfect! Thank you! I am thrilled!
So excited! Thank you - this was GREAT! We planned on purchasing powdered eggs for storage, BUT now we can do our own and KNOW there are no preservatives to worry about. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Judi
My nanna had an egg bucket in her pantry in the 40s. My mum (83) still talks about it today ❤ I freeze my excess whisked eggs. My neighbours are always surprised when I tell them 😊. Love your videos. They are so informative and speak of the good old days👍
Oo we use our powdered egg shell for a flour improver. Calcium carbonate is often added to improve bread. Secondly we use it to make calcium capsules for human consumption. Thirdly we will add to animal feeds. New chicks. Dogs. Etc. And lastly as a soil dressing. Brilliant lovely video. Thanks so much. .
@@pisgahfarms6241 Depends on the country. In England, they don't wash the bloom off their store eggs to my understanding. Same with most countries I think. In the U.S., yes, our eggs have the blooms washed off prior.
Great video. when i first bought a house with 10 acres i thought I could learn this kind of stuff from books at the library or neighbors. My neighbors said 10 acres isn't enough for anything other than a few cows or goats and the books were either 100 years old with bad ideas or required tens of thousands of dollars of equipment to make sense. I'm glad I found your channel with sensible ideas.
Thank you for covering three ways to store and preserve eggs. I am preparing to water glass in 1 gallon jars have everything needed. I am looking into dehydration and have the method to vacuum seal mason jars, great for preserving meat with the fat for years.(Rain County) Need a coffee grinder and dehydrator next, love your method for the shells.
Thank you so much for this! I heard in one of your other videos that you had done an egg preservation video and searched this one out. Especially hepful was the being a UK preservation...I feel like many of the US ones I need to spend a lot of time "translating" it for here. For example hydrated lime is often used for water glassing there and i could never find 'is this the same thing' here. So my fridge is full of eggs I'm saving and now I can get some of that space back. 😂
I have used my aluminum muffin for freezing eggs. I put a silicone muffin cup in each place on the 10 and then I crack an egg into each one of those. Once they are frozen I can peel the egg out of each silicone cup. That way I have the strength of the aluminum muffin and the ease of getting the frozen eggs out of the silicone muffin cups.
Great video!! Just wanted to add one method- I pressure canned eggs with their shells, and got hard boiled eggs for a full year, plus there is the many reveries for pickling . Thanks for sharing!!
@@EnglishCountryLife I added one tea spoon of canning salt to each jar of quart, pressure cooked them for about 30 minutes from the time the dial reached the number 2. With the eggshells it kept them nice and white as you just hard boiled them now. If you peel them and pressure cook, they’ll get yellow grayish, otherwise same flavor and a bit rubbery.
@@EnglishCountryLife Don’t forget to let the wife eat the first egg first… 😎 Just kidding, my family is eating them and thank god, all good . Good luck brother!!
Excellent video presentation. I have been, in the past befoe the pandemic, dehydrating eggs. I have 30 dozen so far in powder form. I've been preparing to start water bathing eggs by the acumilation of large mouthed sized storage glass bottles and the sodium silicate earth requied for their mid term storage of them in my dark, cool basement. I am not currently freezing eggs yet but will be freexe drying them soon after some space is made available for the freeze dryer I now own to be located at. Cheers!!
very well presented love the calm relaxed narration as well, thank you for sharing, hoping life is blessed in your corner of the world! We also freeze them whole in a silicone muffin pan and they work out great for a whole egg presentation...over medium as well as sunny side up..
Enjoy seeing things like this! It gives lots of ideas, am limited on space as you stated but with things going like they are no one knows what's going to happen.
Very nice indeed. So may TH-camrs are showing preserving eggs with lime and calling it waterglassing. Glad to see someone who really knows what waterglassing is!!!
Hi! We've heard about various oils. Personally I would use a more inert oil like mineral oil (Johnson's baby oil!) because it doesn't risk rancidity. We haven't covered it yet but are thinking of doing a part 2 to this video - we could also cover calcium hydroxide (pickling lime) because that's both cheap & easy to make, wood ash and even salt . Worth a video do you think?
well i'm amazed! my friend has been asking where she can get powdered egg and now I know I can make some for her - brilliant, thank you so much, another fabulous tutorial
Great information, and well done video. Thanks much. Do you have any egg pickling videos? I have about 30 laying hens, free range, mostly black australorp. They are a very hardy, gentle, and friendly breed. They lay a lot of eggs, even in the winter and I live in northern Minnesota, US. They don't require a heated coop in the winter, just a coop that's insulated with no drafts. Heated waterers are a most, though. I have about 40 more about ready to hatch, I incubate my own, so in about 6 weeks or so, I'll have more ass-apple producers. Love you brother
I haven't done egg pickling videos yet but we have got a really detailed one on freezing th-cam.com/video/1ey4PASve8s/w-d-xo.html We breed Buff Orpingtons -the origin of the Australorp !
This was very informative. Great camera work. Beautiful chickens. We are pickling our back yard eggs right now. (Pickling) Good for about 3 months in the fridge & lots of flavor options as well as a probiotic for your gut.
Very interesting your video what My dear wife does with the egg shells she grinds them up and we put them in empty capsules they have really helped my knees it is pure calcium
You can also use the eggshell powder as an antacid. Take a spoonful if you have heartburn or an bit if an acidy stomach. If you can't stand the taste, mix in a bit of powdered drink mix for flavor. It's basically Tums.
@EnglishCountryLife. Is it possible to store eggs in vinegar? If I experiment and die, I couldn't tell you the results. But if it has been done, my questions would be: do you leave the eggs raw or boiled and peeled? Would the sourness infuse the entire egg? Can the vinegar be diluted with water to kill any bacteria to reduce the sour taste? Would the eggshell allow passage of vinegar? I know the Vietnamese preserve eggs in salt (but don't know how long possible) but they are far too salty for me. Great video.
Hi Didi! It's possible to pickle hard boiled eggs in vinegar but not raw eggs (as far as I know). Pickled eggs are a snack food in England . www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/pickled-eggs
@@EnglishCountryLife Thank you. Just was reading about pickling eggs so for the sake of readers, I want to tell them, it is more troublesome and they still have to be refrigerated. I will make some though but for immediate consumption. Funny, my mother was a Liverpudlian born Scot and we never had any.
You are welcome! Chickens naturally have periods where they don't lay. When brooding, moulting or , for many breeds, when the days are short. The ability to preserve eggs when there are a lot, gets us through times when there are far fewer.
Can you explain why not to use the pickling lime? I’m in Kentucky USA and not sure where to even begin to find the ingredient you used for the waterglassing. We had a very hard time just finding the pickling lime because no one in stores knew what it was. Thank you so much
Hi Trish! I discuss using Sodium Silicate because that's the material traditionally used here in the UK and what I've personal experience of so I know that it works. I've read that calcium hydroxide (pickling lime) works in a similar way if you make a concentrated solution but I've never tried it so can't personally recommend it. It should be widely available as either slaked lime or builders lime rather than pickling lime - my chemical supplier sells it very cheaply 🙂. Hope that helps.
This is the best egg preserving demonstration I have seen. Thank you.
Thank you so much 🙂

That's fascinating. We keep multiple breeds as all our Orpingtons are broody in the Summer!
I don't eat that many in a month!
@@snowmiaow I eat a very low carb, high fat and protein diet (sort of Atkins or Keto). Thus, eggs are my protein for one meal every day. :)
You can also use the ground shells as calcium supplements for yourself. I add some to my coffee filter when I'm making coffee.
Good idea
I've read, that ground egg shell can be added to biscuit recipes as well. I'll let you know when I try it.

Hi Steve - your neighbours are wrong. People survived for centuries on small plots of land - it can still be done with some hard work!
Oh you can do a lot on 10 acres!! Don’t listen to those neighbors. You can grow all your own food on that if you wanted to.
