We are looking at non-electric ways to preserve eggs for when the ladies are not laying.
The method we are focusing on is using hydrated lime (1 ounce by weight of hydrated lime to 1 quart of water, place eggs pointed end down).
Anyone doing this? No matter how much we stir when mixing the lime and water there is a lot of settling at the bottom. Is this normal? I have not found anything on the net that addresses a settling issue.
