You won't find any chicks around here. I am so thankful that I ordered additional chicks early to replace my older hens. If I had not I would not have got them.

^ Oh, you mean little chickens. 
I hear you DD! I was fortunate and got mine replaced some days ago, but it took a lot of effort. Managed to get some Golden Comets, Isa Browns and a couple Easter Eggers...for their pretty colored eggs. They are all doing well. When these start laying I will have far too many eggs, but I don’t see that as a problem I can’t deal with.

Too many eggs no such thing. My husband loves pickled eggs and sausage in a jar. Like my mother I bake cakes and muffins when I have lots of eggs and freeze them. Zucchini bread is a good one to use up eggs. My husband like me to bake the little loaves and freeze vacuum sealed. He takes them with him to the deer blind with a thermos of hot coffee
My wife will sometimes cook two dozen eggs at a time making Chinese Tea Eggs. A few days ago I pickled a dozen and the jar we put them in wasn't even half full. I'll do two dozen next time.

So I pickle some of my eggs but have never done eggs and sausage together. Are these processed for the shelf or just in fridge?Too many eggs no such thing.

@Doc, I get about a dozen in a quart size jar.

I had to look up Chinese Tea Eggs. They are pretty and sound pretty good. They reminded me of decorated Easter eggs made with natural dyes done in the crockpot.

One of my sons is an avid hog hunter and both he and my husband are deer hunters so I always have venison and pork so my husband enjoys making his own sausage and smoking it. He has all the tools grinder, mixer, stuffer etc still. Due to that I make pickled eggs and sausage regularly. We used to own a game bird farm and pickle quail eggs with your favorite ingredient Louisiana Hot Sauce and sell them. The local bars kept me cleaned out of them.
"Tea Eggs" is a catch all for a number of different ways of cooking them. Not every recipe uses tea. Generally the eggs are hard boiled in water first, then the egg shells are cracked, and the eggs are cooked again in tea, soy sauce, etc. Sometimes the eggshell is removed before the second cooking. Sometimes the shell is not cracked.
They are a common snack food in Taiwan, and you'll find them in every 7-Eleven.

This is the recipe I saw that sounded good.

Now you’ve gone and given me the urge to bake! LOL. The little zucchini bread loaves are a spectacular idea! I have every type of pan imaginable so I will dig those out. I like to bake quiche when I have a lot of eggs as well as bread that I freeze.
The article says that the recipe doesn't preserve the eggs.
However the Chinese invented tea eggs as a way of preserving them. The cracked shell was for the purpose of letting the tea and spices penetrate and marinate the eggs. I guess it depends on how long you steep them. My wife turns off the stove after boiling them the second time and lets them steep in the pot overnight.

I usually do a half gallon at a time and just pop them in the fridge. They don't last long.
After eating pickles or beets out of the glass, I always boil 5-6 eggs and throw them, still warm into the good pickling juice. This preserves the eggs for another 4-6 weeks and the eggs are used in potato salads, egg salads, for breakfast, hunting, fishing or just on a walk in the woods. If you heat the juice and eggs again, re-close the jars just like any other canning process, the eggs are "canned" for a year. Other than that, we crack the eggs into a ziplock bag and freeze them for months. The fun part is if you thaw them out, shake the bag and mix the eggs and drop the bag into boiling water while camping, hunting or fishing, you get fresh scrambled eggs for dinner...GP

I have taken hard boiled eggs, peeled them, and put them in a huge jar with vinegar, kosher salt, chopped up garlic, ginger, red peppers, and some lemon peel.
Let it sit for a few weeks, and the eggs come out delicious.

a link from Walmart on the phases of panic buying. Im Curious about what’s next. I figure baby items and divorce lawyers will both be in high demand down the road...

I have noticed everyone is out of cake mixes here. I thought that was strange.

I found toilet paper at Walmart yesterday. They had two different brands and plenty of each. One was my brand so I grabbed a pack (one pack is the limit) even though I have plenty. I did check the hair care section and saw that there are a lot of products missing, though I wouldn't say it's reached the "panic buying" level yet.
I was discouraged to see that only about 1/4 - 1/3 of shoppers were wearing masks, and were often making no effort to maintain distance from each other.
