Frozen Egg

Q. Ever wonder what happens to an egg when the mercury dips below freezing? (Okay, probably not. I never did until I started keeping chickens).

A. The inside of the egg will expand, and can crack the egg. If it freezes enough, the white of the egg can ooze out of the egg.

The cracked eggs make their way into the garbage can. It's seems like a waste, but I don't want to take any chances if the shell has been cracked.
