How many doz eggs do you use in a week?

[the_vermins]

Just curious as to how many eggs people are going through in a week?

Had Bimby now for 3 weeks and we've been going through a good 3 doz eggs a week! That's a LOT of eggs! That said, I've bought hardly any packaged stuff.  We've eaten all freshly made things which is marvellous.

Yeah, we go through about 3 dozen too - but that includes scrambled eggs for breakfast at least once, which is a dozen eggs in one go 

[Nay-nay]

Us too  - our chooks are doin their best to keep up with us!!

We use as many as our chooks lay.  Usually 4 a day - 28 per week.

We would need a barn full of hens to keep up with us!  I had 10 hens for a while but they weren't great layers and had no chance of supporting our 60 - 70 eggs per week habit!!   We are a family of 4 and we generally eat 2 eggs per day each and then add on all the eggs I use for cakes/muffins (I use coconut flour and that requires a lot of eggs with it) zucchini slice, smoothies etc....
We LOVE eggs, I think they are a superfood packed full of goodness and nutrition. (provided they are from healthy and happy free ranging hens fed a nutritious diet)  The heart foundation gave them a terrible name for a long time but they have admitted they were a little hard on them.  Mind you, I notice they only recommend a few per week as part of your diet but I think that is just them not wanting to admit they were totally wrong about them!
But that is just my opinion!      
Oh gosh, I think that number is going to make lots of people wonder if I cluck!

We are a little overflowing with eggs here this week so what have you been making to use up 3 dozen a week?
(Realised the overflow situation so boiled eggs for tomorrows school lunches, dd3 and I had eggs for lunch and made muffins so working through the back log but more ideas greatfully received.
Oh and answer to original question, we tend to get 3 a day from the chickens so I guess around 21 a week.

We have 8 chickens and sometimes have an egg shortage  so that is 4+ dozen a week 

[the_vermins]

Gee I feel relieved that it is not just me going through copious amounts of eggs! LOL! 

I use them a lot in baking, cooking, everything really.  We have a big cook up of bacon and eggs on Sunday's and the kids have LOVED the custard.  Now to get DH to bring some more eggs home... LOL!

[quirkycooking]

I miss my chickens     We moved to town and have to buy eggs now, so I had to cut down on how many I use - those good quality free-range eggs are expensive!! 

[the_vermins]

I'm happy to pay $4-5 per doz for free range at the farmers market.  Rather my money go in their pocket than every other tom dick and harry in between.

I think we might invest in a couple of chooks for our yard.  Would help our egg consumption! LOL!

[cookie1]

We're not massive egg eaters. But with quiches, icecreams and goodies we go through nearly 2 dozen a week.

[achookwoman]

No shortage of eggs here as the chooks lay 4 a day.   Just the 2 of us so I give away eggs that are over.   Depends on what I am cooking,  but use 12-18 per week.

[cottchick]

I'm a lightweight on the chooks! We only have two and I guess on top of the 14 a week I would by another dozen or two. I love eggs.

[thermoheaven]

It depends on how many cakes I make every week. also, the number of sorbets and custards. Maybe 3-4 dozen?

We use as many as our chooks lay.  Usually 4 a day - 28 per week. 

Snap!.....that is unless the dogs don't get to them first  ......which has been happening often, as the silly girls keep changing their laying pattern!
Our dogs have beautiful shiny coats though
