Too Many Eggs? Try These Non-Breakfast Ideas
Last summer you were undone by the chicken math, and for months you have been feeding your ravenous flock of tiny velociraptors through the winter with barely an egg in sight. Maybe you have even been forced to (gasp!) buy eggs at the grocery store, but longer days are here and, with them, comes the inevitable overrun of egg laying.
Sure, for a while we all rejoiced. Huzzah! The winter egg strike is finally over! But when your family is sick of breakfast for dinner again and the egg basket is full before you go out to collect, turn to our enormous list of things to do with your bounty.
Give it a look, let us know if we missed your favorite, and get ready to get cracking!

You could also donate to the local food pantry.
Sure can! We have our Meyer Meal Maker program where lots of people donate eggs from the free chick we include with orders of layer chicks. Check out that post here: https://blog.meyerhatchery.com/2019/01/21/giving-stories-from-you-and-your-meyer-meal-maker-chicks/
Chocolate Dream Pie (uses 7 eggs per pie). We belong to a small church, so we do Egg Ministry. Even using all the eggs we want from our 14 chicks, we still take 4-6 dozen eggs to church on Sunday and give them away. Our local homeless shelter will not accept brown eggs (dumb, I know!)
Sheila,
I’d love your recipe for chocolate dream pie!
Sure would love that recipe for that pie
