awesome "real free range" vs "store free range" egg comparison & story

I noticed a lot of these differences when we first started eating our hens eggs, especially the orangeness of the yolk. That must be the Omega 3's lol!
It's so nice to see people giving a poop about their food, tell your friend thanks for the blog post and pics. I hope they pass the backyard chicken law in Ottawa, it's about time.

 

Wow, I cant wait for my girls to start laying. Guess homegrown is much better no matter what the stores claim.

 

No surprises here...

 

Interesting but a bit unfair. If the store eggs were "two weeks short " of their expiration date, they could have been really old, whereas the free-range eggs were fresh. That, in of itself would account for the egg's texture. Otherwise, the yolk color certainly was true and, probably, the taste as well. Maybe the biggest advantage with having one's own eggs, aside from knowing what the chickens are eating, is in knowing when the eggs were laid.

 

And even better yet is knowing WHERE the eggs were laid! And it's nice to know that our eggshells aren't covered in chemicals to help perserve them!
