Some of you have chickens, and maybe will never be without eggs, but who knows?
Well, I'm no help .Some of you have chickens, and maybe will never be without eggs, but who knows?

I thought of that as well. We were not allowed to use chemicals that mimicked a real volcanic eruption when I was teaching, so it was baking soda and vinegar. It was boring in comparison!Well, I'm no help .
I never got past step one when they mentioned mixing baking soda with vinegar in the first one.
Memories from the past of the fun we had as kids mixing those 2, came flooding back so I thought it was a joke.
He he! For us it was more like: "Hey, you wanna see a 2-liter plastic bottle explode?"Yep. Volcano time
I have no idea about the shelf life. I wonder that as well.I have used 7-Up as a substitute for eggs in a cake recipe, but if we are talking about SHTF if there were no eggs there probably wouldn't be any 7-Up either.
I do not have powdered eggs in my long term storage preps, so that would be a good addition. Any idea what the shelf life is?
I keep flax in the freezer. I suppose that no matter where I keep it, it will only be good for a certain period of time.We used to babysit a kid who was allergic to eggs and had great luck using ground flaxseed as an egg replacement. Unfortunately it goes rancid, even in the fridge, after a couple of years so it's not the best SHTF solution. I've always wondered about freeze drying it if it would last longer on the shelf.
We haven't made a cake in four years. The WW bread we make does not contain any eggs or egg substitutes. We primarily use the egg substitute in pancakes, corn bread, muffins, and waffles.@Cabin Fever we have some stored powdered eggs that I hate to "open" as they are from Emergency Essentials and now are sky-high in price. Do you like the "flax substitute" in yeast breads and layer cakes?
It's only the consumer resurrecting the TP phenomena.There is no reason for eggs to cost so much! The commies need to cut the crap out!!
I have heard that this is related to the bird flu that took out many chickens a while back. True or not, I don't know.There is no reason for eggs to cost so much! The commies need to cut the crap out!!
No, they cannot be hoarded like TP, but they can be used before they get too old. I get why your wife bought them, but you are correct, in that the "shortage" is creating a shortage by psychological aspects of not wanting to be without.It's only the consumer resurrecting the TP phenomena.
We had a full dozen less than a week old (which will last us 3-4 weeks) and DW picked up another dozen just because she could, and they were cheap.
...Fortunately they can't be hoarded like TP.
True... kinda.I have heard that this is related to the bird flu that took out many chickens a while back. True or not, I don't know.
Yes very true.True... kinda.
The bird flu has been around for decades wiping out flocks of birds, some years worse than others.
The only difference is the giant magnifying glass over it today.
We could have known that they will get it into most people, one way or another.The latest vax crap is that it is going into hatching eggs and meat chick's. A clean flock is is going to mean not bringing in any outside bloodlines from hatchery produced sources. I am not going to provide links, but it is out there to be found.
On the subject of dehydrated powdered eggs, I am drowning in the stuff. I must have around 40 doz so far plus 20 doz frozen.
I bought a ninja twister blender and it powders the eggs very fine. I was using the kitchen aide grinder attachment, but it was slow and a pain to clean and I was grinding too much egg powder at times.
When reconstituted, there is no graininess at all. Although the cooked scrambled eggs are not like fresh, I am getting some reasonably edable results.
