Can chicken eggs be frozen

Answer 1

Eggs whole and in the shell cannot be frozen. Eggs can and are successfully frozen

all the time but they must be mixed. The white of the egg and yolk must be blended for proper freezing of whole eggs (yolk & white mixed).

Take a dozen eggs and mix them up as if for scrambling and add a 1/2 tsp of salt. Pour mix into ice cube trays and freeze for a day.

Take frozen egg cubes and place in freezer bag.

Use two cubes (thawed) per whole egg needed.

While this will not provide you with "sunny side up" style eggs they are excellent as scrambled/ omelets or in recipes calling for whole egg.

Separated Yolks will freeze only when mixed and salt added, consistency is changed by freezing but not unacceptably so when using for baking etc.

Egg whites freeze well without stirring or salt.

Cooked hard boiled eggs get a rubbery consistency.

Answer 2

An egg lain in freezing temperatures will be fine as long as it did not pop. Place it in a carton in the fridge just like any other egg, if you are going to use it right away you may notice that it is thick and perhaps has ice crystals in the whites, that is ok, once warmed up it will be fine.

The only thing to be alert for is a popped eggshell. If the whole egg freezes solid it will pop lengthwise and look like an pop corn seed. Also watch out for cracks. These eggs are still ok to use immediately for personal use if they have not gotten dirty.

Answer 3

Eggs in the shell, No ... due to natural expansion of the liquid yolk, the eggshell will crack and freezer burn may occur.

If you crack the eggs into another container, then, yes, you could freeze them. Just be certain that the bag you put them into can be properly sealed.

Answer 4

Depends on the severity of the cold - if its just a runny nose for a long time they survive inside the egg- but if it is like flu or something they sometimes can only survive for a week or so.

Answer 5

Yes but they come out rubbery. Yes but they come out rubbery.

Answer 6

Frozen eggs will not hatch. Freezing a egg greatly impacts the fertilization process and can kill the chick inside of the egg.
