Sherri, Just poke the shell when the egg is still raw? How do you keep from stabbing your other hand?

I can never get my fresh eggs to peel. I usually keep a stock that are older for boiling. Haven't ever tried/ heard of poking a hole in them. Can't wait to give that a try! Thanks for the tip, Sherri!

I usually use the older eggs for boiling as I have found they do peel easier and I like to use the older ones first anyway that way I am selling fresh eggs. Once they are a week old they are no longer considered fresh.

Oh and thank you for the information on the venison. We always butcher our own. We don't leave it hanging long either as there are plenty of critters out here that would get to it first.

I only have six chickens right now, so do not sell. Even when I had 41 hens, I gave the eggs to friends and family. I had no idea what to sell them for and usually got a free lunch in exchange for eggs. I plan to get more chicks from the hatchery next spring and will probably try to sell the extra eggs next year since I am now retired and do not get to town every day.
Regarding the venison. I was told to soak the meat in milk to remove the gamey taste. Has anyone tried that. We do not hunt and have to depend on the generousity of friends for what we get. We haven't had any given to us since I was told to soak it in milk. |

Wow, are you in for a treat!!!! The color alone is enough reason to buy fresh eggs. I can't wait to get more chicken, we at one time had 60 plus hens, no not a chicken farm. The poultry farm that I ordered from sent me that many, instead of the 25 that I ordered. What could I do but raise them!!!! The neighbors loved all the free eggs! |
