All of my grandmother's brothers ate raw eggs. Her oldest brother ate them until we explained how hatcheries worked. Then he went to quail eggs. He lived to be 97. Until I was a teenager I really couldn't eat eggs unless they were scrambled hard, so I know a raw one will never go down. I can eat them creamy and that is as far as I go. My father loves them rare. He said that and a chia seed smoothie makes him feel good. I know...I'm related to the weird ppl.

I like my fried eggs to have the yolk still runny

I can do that now. It took me a while. No one on either side of my family cooks eggs all the way. Not even boiled ones. I was the oddball.

Actually, we absorb far more nutrients from a more raw than cooked yolk. If you know the eggs are "safe" the health benefits of consuming runny yolks if not actual raw eggs is unparalleled. It's the reason so many boxers, weight lifters, etc. consume them that way. Remember "Rocky"?

I know. Oddly my uncles never got sick. But most of their meals in the summers were vegan except for the 3 raw eggs and fresh milk. I do not think that they tried to eat this way. It just happened. Even though two of them were millionaires you would never know. They tried to never spend a penny. The other two were the same, but did not attain millionaire status.
I remember eating plenty of pickled items, various greens, breads, beans, and meat in the fall and winters with them and my grandparents. Nutrition was the only reason they ate raw eggs (something that my great grandfather told them that they had to do).

I can't stand totally boiled ones they taste like chalk (the yolk).

That's how I do it! Pop it in a smoothie! It makes it SO nice and creamy when the yolk gets in there and acts as an emulsifier.

How are the chicks acclimating to their new 'digs'?

They appear to have warmed up to it, so to speak. They run all over the place now.



Happy as can be!

They aren't even bothered by the rooster in the cog crate/infirmary we have the garage with them (just a little light-to-moderate comb damage, nothing contagious).

Our poor Little Mister.......

He eats his separately, but I will mention it to him.

I had Not heard that ...I always thought eating raw eggs was a macho thing ..
I have never wormed my chickens or ever seen any sign of worms in them .

Maybe the Apple cider vinegar in their water makes a bad environment for worms ?
I also give them chopped raw onions or hot pepper flakes or cayenne pepper in their treats occasionally


Raw egg white is also good for putting on a burn ..
I antibacterial all my eggs by putting some white vinegar in the last rinse then let them dry ..

I had a burn on my stomach & leg from the boiling hot water coming out of a pressure cooker .
( It was my fault ..I was in a hurry to do the next lot ...and opened it while it still had pressure )
I opened it & it sprayed out at my stomach & leg ....It hurt horribly ...I put a cold wash cloth on it ...
the minute I took it off it hurt again ..I searched the internet for a remedy ..
Found Raw egg whites ..
Tried it ....Instant Relief ....it stopped hurting immediately ! ...only a few spots on my stomach blistered with time .
I applied it twice a day & let it dry each time ..After a year ..you can hardly even tell I was burned there .
It healed so nicely ...

I'm a great believer in ignorance is bliss lol

I drank an egg flip every morning my entire primary school life (raw egg milk shake) and lived, luckily.

I also lick the spoon and bowl when I make cakes and have for 40 odd years and eat mayonnaise which is made with raw eggs. I would gag if I tried to drink an egg flip now lol but maybe it gave me a cast iron stomach to cope with the other things now

I am refusing to look at the photos or I shall have to give up eggs entirely raw or otherwise.
