Apparently owning 6 chickens produces a lot of eggs. What am I supposed to do with them? I've had omelets, boiled eggs, pickled, fried, scrambled and poached. But they just keep coming!

  9. Donate to local food pantry/charity/etc

    See if your local pub/cafe wants to barter them

  10. I will not eat them sam I am!
    Green is absolutely a new one on me.

  12. Paint them brown and give them to people as easter eggs

  13. This is clearly just an attempt to antagonise Americans, how terribly rude 🙂

  15. Bake lots of cakes! Eat them or give them to friends and family.
    Or hard boil them and then paint them and make little egg dioramas of famous events or TV shows or just general egg puns – like The Loch Negg Monster, or Romeyolk and Juliegg.

  16. Go door to door in your street and sell them, I bet you’ll get some buyers.

  19. At one of my old workplaces we had someone come in with fresh eggs, he was sold out almost instantly every time

  21. You need to make friends with a bodybuilder. I’m not even joking.

  23. Give some to a food bank or as a present to neighbours. Then if neighbours like them sell them?

  26. Been there, it’s always the way at this time of year. Well done. I give 6 eggs to colleagues and neighbours , the nice ones offer to pay. I say noooo. Just a £2 donation to their food, avoids awkwardness. Have a solid ‘egg club’ list.

  27. Wow, what a beautiful selection of eggs!

    I miss having chickens, I used to do lots of baking and general cooking with mine.
    Work colleagues and friends may buy them too. When I had chickens they would frequently escape into neighbours gardens so they had little presents of fresh eggs to say sorry!

  29. have you considered selling them to amaericans like 2 quid per egg? maybe more?

  30. Frittata (Spanish omelette) is an excellent egg user. Or make a curd and meringue combo

  39. May seem a bit weird, but my garden birds (especially the crows) go bonkers for boiled eggs, especially at this time of year with it being nesting season

  41. Nom nom! My partner is Hungarian, and her nephew has a small holding, I saw the egg get laid that I ate a few hours later, so fresh. Every day I have eggs, THE super food.

  42. I’d give them to neighbours.

    I would gratefully receive them if I were a neighbour, and would forever take in your parcels and do all the small favours when needed!

  43. cakes, brioche, pastries, pasta, a lot of things use eggs.

  44. Make fruit curds with yolks and use the remaining egg whites for meringues?

  45. I live in the US – sorry for lurking but I am so jealous . I just paid $5 for 12 at my local Walmart.

  46. You can scramble them and feed them back to your chickens.

  49. You can freeze eggs in muffin tins and use them later for baking. Also, egg curry!
