Melts for all babies
I need a creative idea to cook over a hundred eggs at once. Soon, please, they're taking over the fridge.
Need recipe urgently!

I have a similar problem. If you really want to use them up, scramble them! People eat more eggs when they are scrambled than with them fried. The leftovers will be greatly enojoyed by the chickens and dogs.

I don't have dogs and my dad doesn't want me to feed them to the chickens (reasons too long to explain). Would cats eat 'em?Farmer Kitty said:

They may. You would have to try them and see.
Feeding eggs to the chickens is a good source of protein. When they are scrambled they no longer resemble an egg and therefore will not cause egg eaters, if that is what he is worried about.

No, he's thinking about feeding chickens things they aren't naturally supposed to eat. Technically, it's cannibalism. He doesn't want to support that. I fully understand his thinking.Farmer Kitty said:

Overrun with beasties
do you like pickled eggs? thats what we do when there is a surplus. I had 2 gallon jars full last winter, hubby and his friends just finally finished them off. Sick. LOL. 
but a lot of people like them. Hubby likes me to make them spicy, so I do. Who cars, I'm not eating them. LOL.

Lonley for cows
Look up pound cakes. Flour, sugar and a half dozen eggs at a time.
They freeze wonderfully and almost everyone loves them. Bake them in loaf pans and you can bake multiple loaves at once.
In fact, I should bake some and use up the eggs our 4 hens are laying. We are getting a dozen every 3-4 days.

Chillin' with the herd
If you'd like to freeze some you can crack an egg into a small, oiled cup-like container (some people use ice trays). Lightly break the yolk before you freeze it. After they're frozen, just pop the eggs out of the container and store them in a freezer bag.
The yolk may sometime become a bit rubbery so if you plan on using the eggs for dessert recipes put a little sugar in the egg before freezing. If you plan on using it for a non-dessert recipe put a little salt in it before freezing.
These are not too good for fried eggs or other "stand alone" egg dishes, but they are wonderful for baking. In the summer when I have an abundance of eggs I freeze some to use in the winter when my chickens are not laying as well.
