Just raise 5 or 6 chickens and you will have freash eggs all year, and if the going gets real rough you can eat the chickens.

Place clean fresh eggs in a ceramic crock, one layer deep. Pour liquid sodium silicate over the eggs until the eggs are covered and completely immersed in the solution.
Place a towel over the crock and tie it into place. Place the crock of eggs in a cool, dry place and don't disturb them til you are ready to use them. To use them, just take out how many eggs you need, wash them off in clear water and use as you normally would.

Pasted from another site but this is how my family use to do it.

liquid sodium silicate

This is sometimes called "water glass", and many pharmacies carry it.

Just something to consider:

IF you are limited to your 5th floor condo, please recognize that an urban environment, ANY urban environment, is not the ideal for a long-term survival situation; and the probability that you will have to go mobile is high.

Eggs don't travel all that well.

At least consider powdered eggs. I admit powdered eggs is not what I'd consider surviving "in style" but then that's why I have live in a suburb, and have a retreat in a rural area off the beaten path, where I can produce all the food my family and I will need indefinitely.

FWIW, I congratulate you for having the common sense to plan for the unbeleiveable but inevitable day when you will have no one to rely on but yourself!

So many people don't and this is why we see the contrasting effects in recent natural disasters, (e.g. NEW ORLEANS v. MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST in Katrina)

GOOD LUCK!!!

I have plenty of canned eggs on hand. ( as well as other long term food stuff)
I just ran across this product on eBay and was wondering if it really kept eggs for a long period time, which might come in handy for those with out refrigeration and wanting or having access to fresh eggs.

Put eggs in cartons in cool basement, turn over carton once a week.

When you go to use place eggs in water, the ones that float are bad.

Do more research!!:)

Anyone want eggs? We get over a dozen a day and can't get rid of em quick enough. Our daughter even hid some under the mini hens and now we have 8 chicks......

Git rid of rooster

As Treborer says, plus coat with vasoline. This from a guy that home steaded in Alaska and then spent a couple of years cruising the Bahamas in a 40' sail boat. Eggs should last up to two months on a boat. Much longer in a cool climate. The secret is to keep air from coming in contact with the eggshell.

Sounds like that's what Ke-Peg has done. ( Sealed the air out ) price is a bit steep.

I got 4 jars @ $3.35 each off eBay.
Their web site sez it lasts indefinitely unopened so we will see.
I was just intrigued about keeping eggs years sans refrigeration .
Even at the prior posts prices, the jar does 40 dozen eggs.
Somewhere $1.00 A DOZEN which might not be a bad deal if you really wanted an egg a year down the road.

Git rid of rooster

Yer in over yer head there, swee' pea'.

Roosters aren't necessary for hens to lay eggs.


Damn city boys. :rolleyes:

The reason to get rid of rooster is so that NO MORE EGGS are fertile, other wise he will continue to raise baby chicks and more chickens and then MORE DAMN EGGS.
What the heck do owls know about eggs anyway.???:D
Git back on your perch.
