Recently the wife and I acquired 5 hens and a rooster. Awesome layers for sure and they can produce more than we can eat in a week so Saturday I grabbed an 18 pack carton and applied some mineral oil to the eggs. They're in the top of the pantry right now and we'll see how things go in 1 month's time for starters.
I think the long term trick will be figuring out safe storage for them. Not sure if the mineral oil will attract insects, rodents, etc., just yet. Guess we'll find out.

Badger, if you have fresh eggs and dont wash them they are supposedcto keep 6 monthes withoutvthe petrolium jelly. So, you may have a natural advantage having your own hens. We have had hens and fresh eggs for years. Ive never tried for 6 months but i know we have left the eggs on the counter unwashed for 2 weeks with no issues when eating them.
Wow, thats a lot of bacon! Interesting idea storing eggs like that too. Ill have to give it a go sometime. Eggs are the best part of breakfast (besides the bacon of course).
