RE: Unchilled and Unwashed: Why Mexico and Europe Do Eggs Smarter than the States

in #news8 years ago

Excellent post and I could not agree more (being a country boy).
We once had visitors who said they could not eat the eggs they were served - they were so bright in golden colour that they thought they must be artificially coloured!

Sort:  

When I get eggs from my grandma's farm, the yolks are rich and dark and the shells are thick. Compare them to the store eggs with nearly translucent shells and pale yolks, and I will choose the farm eggs any day.

Exactly, @redhens. Though, I have never been too sure about the thick shells - when you want them to hatch, you sort of want them to hatch - that little beak has a tough job already. I tend to feed chickens with smashed up shells for the calcium but they have to be well smashed and mixed with other stuff or the hens cotton on ... disaster!!
