Olly Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 no, not some sort of fertility thing! I cleaned both the Eglus yesterday, in a rush as I was going out later, and when I took the lids off, there were two eggs in each. I put them on the patio table, as I'd got my wellies on by then and didn't want to go back into the kitchen with them on. Inevitably, I then forgot all about the eggs. Unfortunately, there was a heavy frost last night when I went out this morning, one of them was frozen to the metal table, and the other three were looking very frosty! Do you think they will be edible? I have left them in the kitchen to thaw out - I don't think I dare to give them away to anyone, but will they be ok to eat? I feel awful, my poor girls worked so hard to produce them, and I don't often get four a day, and then I carelessly left them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokbok Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I know that you can freeze eggs say if you were to make meringue but didn't need the yolks , you'd pop them in the freezer til you wanted to make some custard or something so I don't think they'd be off - I'm just suprised they didn't crack cos frozen things eggspand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 well, although one was sort of stuck to the table with ice, they probably weren't frozen all the way through. I don't like to give them away, so I used two tonight for an omlette, and they seemed fine. I just feel rather guilty. I imagined my chooks looking out of the run yesterday when I'd gone out, and saying 'huh! All that effort and she doesn't even want them'.
