I've been very curious to try this method since I seen homesteading families video as well. I think ill pick some pickling lime up this week! Great video!

Thank you , I do wash my eggs if they are dirty ie: dirt lol I use only cold water and wash rag when it's raining eggs get dirty and chickens tend to kick them around sometimes but mostly during wet weather........good job God Bless and thanks One more thing please, if your eggs come out with any poo on them it is because of a parasite they pick up and is completely normal, feed has chemical to kill it unless specified chemical free but most IS NOT, use apple cider vinegar in their water you can give to the herd lol, it is not toxic and they love it and your eggs come out PERFECTLY clean it is a good way to watch for coop health. Also when chicken has parasite their hood changes color they tend to be body sensitive to everything even stress.

Wonderful tip! I have heard about ACV for their water, will definitely add that to our routine. Thank you for sharing

My grandmother gathered her eggs in a wire basket that was galvanized. Once she had a lot she would sink the eggs basket and all in a bucket of water and put in a cool place in the house. That is the only way she did it. I am glad to learn of the Pickling lime! Sailors crossing the ocean in small sailboats coat their eggs in Vaseline grease which disallows oxygen getting to the shell.

Isn't it amazing how much wisdom our grandmothers had on how to provide for their families without relying as much on a grocery store down the road? Thank you for your comment! I have also heard about using a galvanized wire basket to put food down the well instead of using a refrigerator. So many alternative options out there!

Shalom, Alicia! Great videos! Thankyou. I am going to try the egg preserving! This is Wendy. Kevin and Trevor are my children...do you remember sabbaths together when you were little? You've grown to be a very lovely godly woman. Blessings. You have lovely children.

Wendy, so wonderful to hear from you! Glad you enjoyed the egg preservation video. I do remember Sabbaths with you guys, and many great hikes on the Island as well! Hope you are all doing well. Quite the times we are living in these days! Blessings to you and your family!

Pickling Lime, aka: Calcium Hydroxide, Hydrated Lime, Builders' Lime, Slack Lime. If you wanted to save some money you can just buy hydrated lime from the builders supply or lumber yard in a 50 lb sack, it's the same stuff. Thanks for posting ladies.

Don’t you just love Carolyn at Homesteading Family! I will be doing this with my excess eggs. Thank you for sharing how to check for freshness. God bless y’all!❤️

[@awildernesscalling47]

Yes! I do really love Homesteading Family! So much good info and Carolyn is awesome! May you be blessed with many freshly preserved eggs this winter! 😍

Pickling lime and hydrated lime are apparently comparable
