    My great grandmother preserved eggs in wood ashes. They heated their house with wood stove. She collected the ashes and kept freshly laid eggs in it as long as she needed them. Greetings from Poland 😉

    Here in the Republic of Ireland there is a traditional Market in Cork City called "The English Market" so called because of it's use by the British Navy in the days when Ireland was occupied by the British. Salted & smoked fish and meats and BUTTERED EGGS were traded here for provisions on board the sailing ships. Buttered eggs are freshly laid eggs coated with salty freshly churned butter which not only keeps the eggs fresher for months (if stored in a cool dark place) but it also imparts a subtle buttery flavour the the eggs when cooked.

    Water-glassed eggs are only good for up to 2 years. The lime actually thins the shells and right around year two, they shells come apart and you end up with a bucket of yuck. NOTE: If you water-glass your egg, they can't be hard boiled. They WILL blow up because the shells are thinned. But outside of that, this is great. They have to be fresh and UNWASHED or they will spoil.

    I know that one of the tricks used by smarter settlers moving across the USA during the Gold Rush, was to take barrels, pour very hot melted tallow into it and start placing eggs into it. The hot tallow (rendered fat) would sterilize and cook the eggs as well as seal them. After filling the barrel with eggs and hot tallow, it was sealed until needed. If they were needed, they had food. After they reached the west coast, a several month journey, they could sell the excess hard boiled eggs to miners at a great profit. They did take their chickens with them on the journey.

    Ive never heard of preserving for as long as 15 years. Mostly we store to get thru the winter when the hens slow down their production. Its important to understand that preservation only works with farm fresh UNWASHED eggs that still have the invisible protective bloom intact.
    Pickling Lime also call Contractors Lime or Slate Lime is used one quart of water to one ounce by weight of lime mixed well and cover unwashed eggs safely for two years. Always store your eggs pointed end down.

    So for about four years now, I’ve been preserving eggs by putting them in pickling lime same method as they’re talking about here after two years you’ll find that these are more for scrambling eggs, putting in casserole, putting them in some kind of recipe. They still taste great another thing that I’ve done along with this after two years I decided I wanted to dehydrate them and make egg powder to use do one tablespoon egg powder, 2 tablespoons of water let it sit for a little bit to reconstitute the egg and cook as usual.

      When a chicken lays an egg the shell is coated with a enzyme to help the chicken lay the egg more easily...store bought eggs are washed and that protective enzyme is washed of which exposes the pores in the shell to bacteria that quickly invades the shell so the egg begns spoiling as soon as it's washed, then the bacteria is just trapped inside the egg where it continues to grow...after washing, the egg degrading speeds up depending on the environmental conditions...

    Lime water (water glassing) it only keeps them for about 2 years i have had chickens for about 12 years i started to water glass about 4 years in . . Mineral oil doesn't work as well..
    Half as good as water glassing...never tried vinegar..Hydrated lime is what you need ( pickling lime ) 1 ounce by weight per quart of water i place my eggs in a food grade bucket and keep it in the basement around 70 degrees or lower i never keep them past 2 years you will lose at the 2 year time about 50 percent of the eggs also you will fine that the yolk protein breaks down for myself at about 4 months it became weak and the yolk would break so you will only have scrambled or omlites .. i started to do this because the chickens do not lay very many eggs in winter it is cut in half. I tried extra lighting but they starting dieing from the stress of less sleep most likely heart attacks.
    Pickleing lime works great....i also found the amount of eggs that each bread lays isn't what the claim..

    A local store had a big sale twice a year. Each time…I bought an entire case..which was about 50 dozen. I wrapped each box, so they couldn’t absorb refrigerator odors. That case would just about last the 6 months until I got my next case. Of course, instead of the regular price..they were only .50 a box. So..store bought, washed white eggs..lasts at least 6 months if done right. I have pickled them, as well, and they last a long time. Would love to try pickling and canning them.

    Some of my grandmother's sisters raised chickens and a whole lot of eggs. There were always eggs and very cheap chickens for family. Other family on all sides of my relatives grew or raised almost anything. Some was limited to mostly sale to market and not shared as much, other things were shared or everyone grew and canned or stored. Food was good. I even barely recall aunts and uncles to my one set of grandparents, they lived to an old age eating what they raised, traded, gathered, fished, or hunted. Scary thing this year was the reports of the government destroying bee hives. Enough so that despite having an almost perfect growing season, the garden produced nothing which depends on bees or butterflies for pollination. Might be needing to utilize our forest and field rustic home sooner than later. Sadly, the old neighbor(s) have passed on and been long since their beef and dairy was sold off. Well, if the property sits idle, lot of grazing for deer and other stuff as well as areas for ducks and geese and pheasants, partridge, rabbit, bear, and other things wander without touching the weird stuff like skunk or beaver. Berries wild, but only with rain and pollination. A small spring but not sure where it's from, useful though i dare not drink it without filtering and treating water from that "pool". Can't rely on nature to support us if the masses are hungry and poaching. Trespassing can't be tolerated.

    A fresh layed egg, unwashed will keep for 3 to 4 weeks without refrigeration. Oiled or limed eggs can keep for years. Never heard of that vinegar method. I'll stick with the lime or oil, I know that works. I like pickled hard boiled eggs and have eaten them 3 years after they were pickled but usually they don't last that long around my house. I once made 10 dozen pickled eggs which I thought would last a year, they were gone in 3 months. I prefer to have everything I store up in rodent and insect proof containers.

She didn't try for longer than 2 years because the hens started to lay again in spring and it usually wasn't necessary to keep them longer than 12 - 18 months., Another method she had heard about but didn't use ("Too fiddly" she said), was to put them in isinglass solution.

I personally assume that, if the inside of the egg is not a funny colour or smelling of sulfur, it is not "off". Although freshest eggs taste best.) In the UK, stores keep eggs at room temperature because the suppliers have not washed the eggs so germs have not been washed into the egg through the porous shell. You don't need to put them in the fridge when you get home, unless you want to. Some sources recommend that you do not refrigerate eggs. In the USA, eggs have been washed before they reach the stores, which could have let germs in, so they must be refrigerated from then on. Comments here suggest that these preservation methods shown in the video will not work for store-bought eggs, only those straight from the chicken. (I still might try the buttered idea, though, to see if it will slightly extend storage time on my store-bought eggs. Just for curiosity's sake!)

    I wonder if you could coat the eggs with Krylon clear coat paint.

    Can you hard-boil mineral oil coated eggs? Can you use vaseline or different oil to coat them? How long do they last?

    If you don’t wash eggs after they’re laid they will last 3 months . When eggs are washed there is a coating from the hen that is like a natural preservative coating that is removed.

    Good ideas. But repeated many times unneccessary. Do the clip shorter but still informative.

    Fresh eggs, normally last two weeks out of the fridge, because when the chicken lays one a day until she gets ready to sit the first egg has to stay fresh or they would not hatch, I hate to say it, but that’s common sense. That is the same with turkey eggs, guinea eggs, duck eggs, pheasants, quails all poetry. Water glass, and is usually the best way to preserve, long-term. But you have to do it the right way yes, we need to learn the old way just for sake of history. if you freeze dry them, they will last up to 25 years preserved in the right bags.

    The farmers have 30 days to get them to the stores, and then the stores had 30 days to sell them before the sale by date.
