I remember the first egg I cooked from my first hen. When I scrambled store bought eggs, they seemed dull in color almost faded. Ut that backyard egg was so bright and rich. I haven’t eaten store bought eggs since. I just can’t go back.

Good information, clear, understandable, good illustrations.
Note: I can't eat store eggs without getting sick, but I have no issues eating eggs from my flock. I wonder why? Are there medicinal or other additives to the commercial chickens' feed?
That might be something worthwhile to research.

Very fun article
Well done ! I love have my own supply of fresh eggs.

Very thorough comparison between backyard and store-bought eggs. My only comment is that I've never gotten orange yolks from my birds, even though they eat like kings. It's possibly more common in free-range flocks with a more varied diet (like you mentioned). Nicely done! 
That was a fun to read article regarding the differences between commercially produced eggs and back yard produced eggs! The printable poster is cool!
