Can you freeze eggs?

Just to be clear:it's about chicken eggs.

Freeze a whole egg You cannot freeze a whole egg in its shell. You can break and beat the egg and then freeze it. You can pour the beaten egg into a muffin tin, that way you can easily thaw a portion.

Freeze loose egg whites or yolks Freezing the egg white or yolk separately is useful if you are making a recipe where you only need one part. There is one thing you have to watch out for:egg yolk changes structure when frozen. You prevent this by adding 6 grams of sugar or salt to 100 grams of egg yolk. Sugar or salt lowers the freezing point, which means that the structure of the egg yolk is less affected.
