Anyone have picky egg eaters in their house that only eat store eggs?

Do your ladies lay eggs similar to storebought eggs? I'd clean them up real well and sneak them into a storebought carton and "make" them eat them. Once you get the taste of nummy "homemade" eggs into them, they should be convinced... Lol. Or, you could make them read the stories of how yucky some of the egg factories are. I'm weird about the egg shells too, when we get local eggs, I want them to be clean, but, once they're clean, there's nothing wrong with them.

 

My DIL won't touch my home laid eggs. Told her about battery cages and she don't care. She don't go so far as to look in the trash though. At least not yet. I could see her doing that though if she thought of it.

 

It leaves more for the incubator! Most don't want to know! That is why our ground goat meat says burger on the packages. Even Gf thinks it is ground deer burger. Quail eggs are another! Had people irate about screwing with wildlife! They will eat deviled chicken eggs though; go figure! Go ahead and trick 'em they deserve it! It was 3 weeks of replacing farm eggs in the store catron before the boys caught on; then it was too late! They didn't fix them anyways. They are getting better about eating chicken; can't have any veins or bones.

 

I wouldn't waste my time 'sneaking' eggs ... either they embrace eating them or they don't.

Not in my house, but for the last 2 years I have been giving eggs to my daughters preschool teachers, they LOVE them! Well one of the little girls grandmother asked me about them. I told her that they were large brown eggs, and immediately she said ewwww, I am 63 years old and I have never had a brown egg. I asked her if she would like to try 6 and she said yes. A few days later I saw her again and she said she cooked one, gagged and called her daughter and told her... get these eggs out of my house right now! She said she just couldn't do it!

 

But storebought eggs are never shiny... they're all rough and they use chemicals to clean them off...

And actually tell your mother in law this, I was at the grocery store the other day and opened a container of STORE EGGS FROM BURNBRAE EGGS, so a big eggery and one had a huge clump of poo on it, and another was almost smashed to bits.

Yeah.. I'd eat those for sure. *rolls eyes*

Plus, here store eggs are more expensive than our eggs so we have repeat customers here because they would rather spend the money on gas than the eggs at the store.

 

My 13 year old DD will not eat farm eggs. She says it's weird to eat something from her pet's rear.

 

Quote:Wow, that's really bizarre!

I can't understand people who think store eggs are better..my best friend's hubby is the same way..he said, "real eggs come from Meijer"

 

Quote:She does know that ALL eggs come from a chicken's rear, right?

I have no tolerance for stupidity, really. Your 13 yr old is excused...she's a teen, LOL. My own DIL will only eat white eggs, even when I say they are just white because of the breed of chicken. Dont even get me started on this subject.
