Egg questions

I've frozen eggs before and the yolk isn't right. Once I started using honey or salt, it worked great - a tip I got from here about freezing eggs!

I also whip up a bunch with a pinch of salt, and freeze. They are fabulous as scrambled eggs.

So you're adding honey or salt to the egg and then freezing them?

I can understand that you enjoy the chickens and your girls love the chicks, and you're like a kid in a candy store and want to try them all....but....
Why don't you solve the problem by cutting your flock of laying hens down to a more appropriate size for your family and your egg handling capabilities? Then every year raise 6-8 chicks as replacements for your current layers. Pick your favorite breed and stick to them. It's a hard thing to do, but you save yourself a lot of work and a lot of money by not buying so much feed.
I do this every year and the chicks start laying in the fall and will lay all winter long as long as they have a light, and by the time they moult and stop laying I have raised another batch of replacements.

Don't wash your eggs before putting them in the fridge. The hen's egg tract coats the egg with a mucous, called the "bloom" that helps seal out air. Washing removes that coating.

Once you've floated a batch to check their freshness, keep those separate and use them next, since you've removed the bloom and they won't keep as long.

Further tips:

If you need to mark eggs, use a soft "lead" (graphite) pencil - 4B or even 6B.
It gives minimal damage to the bloom on the shell, and there are no volatile or water solvents to soak through to the inside of the shell.

If you need to clean an eggshell, a dry brush is better than a wet one, as it won't soak stuff through the shell. It will still damage the bloom though, so use the eggs quickly. Note that this may be why one or two eggs in a box go off quicker than the rest (they were "dry cleaned" before they were packed).
Note the next point - wet cleaning is much worse.

Never wash raw eggs in warm or hot water - it warms them, they expand, and then draw the dirty water or even plain air around them through their pores to fill the vacuum.

To freeze what I was advised to do is: beat gently so no air bubbles formed and put in a small amount of honey, salt, or sugar. I used zipper bags and stacked them.
