IrishM Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 It tasted great! I will post a link with some photos! The second egg had a pretty good crack in the top. The girls are now kicking all of the paper out of the next box and I think it just dropped on the floor. I hard boiled this one. What do you do with slightly cracked eggs? Do you have to boil them right away or will they keep? ---Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishM Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Here is a link to a few of the pictures, unfortunately the pictures of the snow covered Eglu and chickens did not make it... http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0AZsmTlm2btWL0A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Lovely pictures. I love your little girl's socks. I bet she has another pair just like them somewhere! With cracked eggs, if it is only the shell that has cracked and the inner membrane is intact, and it is today's egg, I scramble or poach it. If the membrane is broken I discard the egg.
