And here I was, going to waste these eggs by turning them into a science experiment.<br /><br />Seriously, though, I don't think our local shelter is going to be interested in half a dozen week-old boiled eggs.

Preferably a people shelter, where people can enjoy fresh local hard-cooked eggs, but I wonder if an animal rescue group or shelter might also take donated eggs to feed the dogs and possibly the cats?Pamelahttp://www.suburbancrunch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554390.post-64960151989892602312009-04-13T09:11:00.000-07:002009-04-13T09:11:00.000-07:00I love hard-cooked eggs with a little pile of salt...I love hard-cooked eggs with a little pile of salt and fresh-ground black pepper, but I also love egg salad, chicken or tuna salads with hard-cooked eggs, and deviled eggs. My kids love hard-cooked eggs, too. And, even if you can't find a way to feed the PEOPLE with the eggs, won't your chickens eat cooked eggs?
