Also called calcium hydroxide and slaked lime, hydrated lime is highly caustic and can burn skin and eyes. It is used in cement and mortar, and it can kill a number of lawn-inhabiting parasites, such as fleas. Farmers often use it on outlying lands to protect animals from parasites that can sicken or kill them. Because hydrated lime's use is restricted in some locations, check your area's regulations before using the product.

Hydrated Lime is also called Calcium Hydroxide, just in case its not sold like that where you are.

[@MissCatherine1100]

Thank you !

[@tomandtinadixon]

(Tina here) Having made my own soap for several years, I really don't want to stick anything into any type of hydroxide solution, least of all food or my bare hands. Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are extremely caustic, why would calcium be any different? They are on the same part of the periodic table of elements so have nearly identical properties. Therefore, I don't know how hydrated lime = calcium hydroxide.

[@GucciCaligula]

@@tomandtinadixon it’s in the fist paragraph of the wiki en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide I’m a chemist. “In the same part of the table” is not quite accurate. Calcium ions carry a +2 charge and sodium and potassium ions only carry +1 charges. What that means is that the calcium ions “hold” onto the hydroxide ions more tightly than an equivalent amount of potassium or sodium hydroxide would. That means that overall calcium hydroxide is much less caustic than sodium or potassium hydroxides. Just because something has a chemical name doesn’t mean its dangerous.

[@tomandtinadixon]

@@GucciCaligula OK thanks for the clarification. And yeah I get that everything in existence is pretty much a chemical. But still, if it's caustic, I don't feel comfortable with using it. I know how the other two types are, so if calcium hydroxide is "half" (correct me?) as caustic it's still somewhat nasty. Also, after looking it up myself, it even tells you NOT to use the construction grade stuff for home use, especially for food. Use ONLY the food grade, or pickling, lime.

[@GucciCaligula]

@@tomandtinadixon again I think you’re letting a fear of terms distract you from what’s actually at issue which is overall safety. Caustic just means basic. Baking soda is caustic. Also the “half as caustic” thing isn’t right either. There’s an annoying thing with chemistry and science in general where in order to answer a “why” question you need to go waaaayyy beyond the scope of the original question, or you need to oversimplify or tell a half truth (this is called hand waving) so you don’t spend all day explaining something simple. The truth about how basic “caustic” a compound is depends on the pKB of the compound. This is a log scale measurement of how likely the compound is to dissociate in water (they can only “do” base things when dissociated) with higher numbers meaning less likely to dissociate. The pKB of Sodium Hydroxide is about .2 the pKB of calcium hydroxide is about 2.4. And remember this is a log scale, so calcium hydroxide is 100x LESS basic than Sodium Hydroxide. As for the use thing, yeah. The food grade really just talks about the purity, food grade means it got lab testing for its purity. Construction grade didn’t, it doesn’t mean that construction grade isn’t safe to use, it just means that no one checked. Use something that you’d be comfortable with.

[@euclidumbra2757]

"if god created the chicken to stop laying eggs during the winter, then maybe that's best for their bodies" - Yes!! No matter what higher power (or not) you believe in, we need to start understanding that nature tells is when we can or cannot benefit from it. We need to start following more traditional teachings that understand the life cycle of plants and animals, so that we aren't over-using and depleting our resources for food like the western world currently does. Homesteaders should definitely do some research into traditional indigenous teachings in hunting and gathering, as they follow so many of the same principles as you just said, like knowing when it is time to prepare for winter like this, like being wary of hunting females (life-givers), like hunting and gathering in season.. Anyways, wonderful video on egg preservation! Thank you! Let chickens be chickens!

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

Lisa is 100% right. The industry is beyond cruel with how much they force these chickens to lay eggs. It completely drains them and sucks so much nutrition out of their bodies. They were never meant to lay as many eggs as humans are forcing them to. It’s so cruel. Not to mention what the egg industry does to the poor little baby male chicks that are born. It doesn’t get any more disturbing than that.

@@claesmansson9070 We had the cutest thing happen. We had our eleven hens about a year and we get so many eggs, when I started noticing a pile of them in a hard-to-get-to corner of the coop, I just left them. I noticed a couple hens had become broody sitting on them all day long. One morning I opened their side boxes and heard peeps! I hadn't heard that in so long, at first i thought it was small birds around. I looked inside and surprised ten little chicks running around the bottom of the coop with the hen clucking after them! So thrilling to see nature at work!! God's plan is perfect. When i realized they'd soon need feed and water (their shells looked about exhausted), we set them up in the top of the coop away from the herd--except sleeping. When they got big and brave enough they came down the ramp and braved the other hens and two roosters. 🥰

[@ceceliabowensfares1120]

I just thought I'd share a little of my experience with water-glassing. It does not appear I can upload a couple of pictures here, as an example, but I am just now using October 2022 eggs, here in Nove 2023. My observation is the shells are just a little more fragile and possibly a little thinner. They do not appear to be as tough as they were when I first put them into the lime water. I also noticed the yolks are not quite as bright and the whites appear a little thinner, but they still cook up without any difficulty. I use food-grade hydrated lime for my preservation. I have been water-glassing for 5 years now. Also, I have 10 dozen eggs per 5-gallon bucket; although I have found 8 doz seems to be an optimal fit with less loss of product. I have occasionally lost 1-4 eggs in any given bucket. I currently have 90-100 dozen in storage.

That's a lot of eggs! I am impressed! Thanks very much for the feedback.

The fact that chickens don’t lay or lay very little during the winter certainly does attest to God’s care for them and for us since He gave us a brain to figure out ways to preserve our foods.

Some do lay all year but like she stated, most of the time their laying is drastically reduced. The solar clock is what regulates their egg laying, which is why she doesn’t use artificial light. I completely agree with her, the hens typically last longer and have a better life. Every hen has a finite amount of eggs she can lay from birth til the end. Let ‘em live a little.

My father taught science, mathematics, and physics. If you have been taught to read you can read the warnings on labels, decide yourself if you want to use this method. There are warning labels on many things, even Christmas lights, phone chargers, extension cords, gas pumps, I even read a cereal box from the dollar store that read, may contain lead, how about... produced with GMO ingredients. I DON'T EVEN FLINCH KNOWING IT IS HYDRATED LIME. I have used it in other applications. Even pickles but years ago purchased it at the grocery store just to save time but paid way too much for it.

I homesteaded in the '70s in Western WV. We would buy waterglass in the grocery store and mix 1 qt of it with 2 1/2 gallons of water in a 5-gallon crock and fill it with eggs like you using the extras during the spring and summer. I kept them in the cold cellar with a wooden lid and a brick on it to keep out mice ( one mouse spoils the whole batch). They would get us through the winter. One point was that the yolks would be flat and often break when you cracked the egg so they were no good for frying, OK scrambled with other ingredients, and just fine for cooking cornbread and stuff like that. It was a good healthy life but you had to work every day all day just to survive! The city kids mostly washed out and back to mom and dad when the weather turned.

I’m an urban chicken daddy and just started water glassing. I’m in north Texas so we don’t have a long, hard winter, but the girls do slow down and even stop their laying in the colder months and shorter days. I’m using pickling lime and 1-gallon glass pickling jars.

[@JoshuaSmithHomesteader]

Just wanted to let you know, I water glassed a bucket of eggs back in May and we are now eating them. They are totally edible and not much different then a fresh egg. The yolk is a little flat but all good. Thanks for the tip on water glassing. Happy 2019!!

[@j.eanderson1262]

Joshua Smith Did your lime settle over the eggs?

[@myohmy451]

J.E Anderson What does that even mean? Of course the lime will settle over the eggs, especially as more will sink to bottom naturally, (gravity), and you want the lime to surround your eggs, as shown. The eggs are immersed in the solution so unless you keep your eggs in only an inch of water, how do you think the lime won't settle on the whole egg, top side? If you clarified you could actually be helpful. I hate when people ask beginners who cite issues, questions they know will make the beginner feel stupid. Just be thoughtful and helpful without asking questions or being ambiguous, using technical terms, or other when replying to those with observations or questions. If you have trouble explaining things, or simply like being a smart a--, don't respond.

[@MrAdamNTProtester]

the thing is you should still be able to get enough eggs for your sunny side up in morning but for pancakes, cakes, other recipes etc the waterglassed eggs are no different than regular

Thanks for sharing these valuable conserving tricks we need it much in our area cause the electrical power going so bad god bless you i appreciate your feminine efforts a lot with all my respects

[@betsybarnicle8016]

@@myohmy451 I think I'm wondering the same thing; Once you whisk the solution around and put in all your eggs, the lime seems to settle to the bottom. I whisked my solution several time, but still a lot of the lime settles. I guess that's just going to happen, and the top less-settled solution is enough to preserve the eggs that aren't sitting on the bottom of the container. I don't suppose there there's some trick to keep the lime from settling, since it will never fully mix with the water. (by the way, I'm using Mrs. Wages pickling lime and filtered water)

I’m totally digging your kitchen and you’re wearing an apron, reminds me of my grandmas house! She gardened, canned, raised her own meat. Towards the end her and my grandpa started calling the butcher to come out and process the beef and pork. My best memories are of summertime at grandma and grandpas house. We got to drive tractors build forts in hay, eat strawberries till we got sick of them. We would get up with grandpa at 4:45, the smell of his percolating coffee was AWESOME walk in to kitchen and there he would be with his big smile and his warm blue eyes asking if we wanted oatmeal or what we called baled hay which was that wheat cereal that literally looked like bailed hay in a bag, forget the name. 2 bales came in each bag in the box. I could go on and on but is really really wish I had followed my grandma and grandpas lifestyles with my family. So nice and very exciting to see young folks today taking on the adventure. Your kids are going to be so happy and well adjusted.

[@bighern1794]

Hahaha! I know the cereal you're talking about. Like the frosted mini wheats just bigger. We used to call it hay cereal too. That's to funny. Beautiful memories you have. A lot kids will never have memories like that these days. I try and make sure my kids will have some like that.

In Europe we used another watery solution to prepare eggs - the real water glass (natrium silicate 1 : 9 mixed with water). Your method is not real "water glassing", but laying the eggs in a calcium hydroxide solution. Both methods work on a similar principle. The advantage of using natrium silicate is that it does not give the eggs a chalky taste. But natrium silicate is more expensive. Thank you for your interesting video!

[@tandiparent1906]

I thought she said at the start of her video that there are several different ways to do it, so I'm guessing that there isn't a right or wrong method... just different methods of getting the job done.🙂

[@motherbarney8]

Interesting side note. Yesterday I filled my 4 gal bucket with about five dozen eggs. I then, a bit concerned about the lime being evenly distributed, very gently stirred them with my hand. This morning I went to rearrange them with the pointy end down and everyone one I checked was already in that position. I was shocked until I realized the air space in the big end had obviously floated to the top all by itself. Thank you, God.

[@e.richardscholz2338]

Well that’s how you know about egg from a good eggs and it wasn’t happening to all of them was it?

[@thekat268]

Susan Barney, did the lime stay mixed? Mine mostly settles on the bottom. When the eggs were in it they had a little bit of white on each one.

[@cyndibird7758]

I have this question also... Is there any problem with the lime settling? And if you use a big container and add the eggs gradually, the lime is already settled on the bottom. In this case I've given my eggs a gentle stir to move the lime around but I've ended up with cracked eggs twice! :(

[@e.richardscholz2338]

You should always throw away and egg that floats. I am absolutely against stirring the solution, even gently one eggs are in it, because sooner or later an egg that is going bad by itself will float when you add take the ones on top of it that are unharmed by its presence. The whole idea that you have to worry about the solution because the powder settles to the bottom is wrong! Some of you think you have to stir it because it settles to the bottom is incorrect because the solution will seek saturation because of the natural motion of the ions in solution due to being present in the water. You don’t understand the science of a saturated solution. A saturated solution means that it’s holding all of the calcium hydroxide (in this case) that it could possibly hold. You don’t complain about the Dead Sea having crystals of salt on the bottom, thank you somehow have to stir it! Even when you first put it in, if it’s not saturated within a day or two it will become completely saturated without any help or interference on your part. Try not to make this complicated! It’s as simple as putting the eggs in gently walking away from it and picking them up gently and not stirring the water after putting in even a single egg; ever ever ever! Just leave the powder alone on the bottom and equilibrium will take care of itself and you won’t ever have to worry about stirring it yes if you stir them. If you stir, don’t be surprised. You’re going to crack them;stop stirring the solution as soon as you are ready to put in the first egg. I repeat stop stop stop stop!!!

[@ravenzyblack]

Mellissa Saucedo-Yes, to the first part. Yes, you need to find a cold dark place to store the bucket with eggs. You only remove the eggs that you want to use at that time. The rest stay in the bucket. This method preserves the eggs up to 8 month from the time you put them in the lime mix.

[@claytonpaisley9721]

Hi all- PLEASE use food grade lime, not construction grade. Construction grade can be contaminated with inorganic arsenic and is NOT safe, even in small amounts, especially for kids and pregnant women. This woman may believe God will protect her, but for everyone else let's use common sense and not use industrial grade chemicals in food processing.

[@lindab6901]

This is such a great video! So easy to understand and follow all the steps. Thank you for making this. My backyard pullets are laying more than I can eat this, their first, winter so I am saving some this way in case they take a hiatus during the summer heatwaves (110+) we get where I live. Then I'll save the spring eggs for next winter when they will have their first molt. It is so exciting and rewarding having a little backyard flock.

[@marciameyer5584]

I was raised as a city kid but did have times on my grandparents citrus ranch with chickens. I've never heard of preserving eggs. Fascinating.

[@lpd1snipe]

Hydrated lime is also used for drinking water treatment in large industrial and municipal water treatment plants. It's used for the softening process. You have to be careful with it in an industrial plant because it generates a lot of heat and can burn your your skin. I used to be a licensed water and wastewater treatment plant operator in Florida.

Backyard chickens. Check local laws to make sure you don't get in trouble, they are easy to care for and the "pay rent" in egg production. Check your local tractor supply or atwoods etc for baby chicks. Most of them are a few bucks each and realistically almost anything can serve as a coop. I live in the city literally 3 blocks from City Hall and we have 25 laying hens and a rooster. We get so many eggs we give them away. Our friends and neighbors love them. Now I will have to do this too, so as to save some for the hard times coming up.

My grandma sold eggs. She had me "candle" them and put in cases. I had no idea what I was doing but know I realize it was to ensure a chick wasn't forming so it would have been dark or darkening. The candling was a light bulb in a cardboard box with a hole at top where I set or held the egg to check it.

Slaked lime is also known as Calcium Hydroxide Ca(OH)2 it is mildly caustic and like natural soap has a PH level that provides a hostile environment for bacteria. Without bacteria there is no degradation and eggs will be preserved providing the PH level is maintained

Makes me wonder if you could soak store bought eggs in water with a few drops of liquid iodine+iodide (aka Lugol's solution) since it's a natural antibacterial. Vinegar is also a natural antibacterial so I wonder if that might work too??

@@Donna777 vinegar is acidic not alkali and will dissolve the calcium in the egg shell. I understand why you thought that iodine would be antimicrobial but I don't think it would be safe to use as a food preservative and would most likely affect the taste and colour of the egg.

I live in south central Pennsylvania, and this is what I did to preserve store-bought eggs at room temperature. I took regular sandwich bags, put one egg in each bag, coated the eggs with mineral oil, and put them in with my canned goods. 6 months later I cracked and ate the first egg, and it was just fine. I only added enough oil to coat the eggs and have a little bit left in the bottom of the baggie. Hope this helps 😁👍
