When the hens are producing more eggs than we can eat, I give away the extras to friends. Most people are happy to get them, but 1 friend declined after the first dozen. She said they tasted too "eggy" & store bought eggs were not as strongly flavored.

Bonnie, I agree about the "peeling properties" of newly laid eggs. During laying season I keep a dozen eggs (dated) in the back of the fridge fo those times when I want undamaged peeled eggs; after about 2 weeks they are still perfectly good, but much easier to peel. I've also learned that steaming the eggs, rather than boiling them, makes them easier to peel, even eggs laid just that day!
