Do you know people grossed out by fresh eggs?

[Bee]

I was not raised on a farm but we did have a small garden and fruit trees. Store bought eggs was all I tasted till about five years ago when I worked on a 'breeder farm' and had fresh eggs daily. The ones we could eat were the 'culls', to small or to large (double and sometime triple yoke). When the job ended and I returned to my hometown, I was back to store bought eggs. I couldn't eat them. They tasted gross, fake (difficult to find the right words to describe the taste). So, for over a year, I didn't eat eggs unless they were cooked in a recipe. This is one of the reasons, I had to have my own chickens. We now have 17 ladies laying, with no Roo. (my 19 year old daughter did say they might have some pinup pictures of Roo's under the hay in their nesting boxes)

Fresh Eggs Are Awesome!

Now, if I could find someone to help me learn how to keep my Roo's for consumption instead of trading them for feed at the feed store..... and how to hunt... and milk a cow... spot edible wild mushrooms... and, and, and...

Where does one go to learn all these thing when they want to be 'self-sufficient'.? Reading about it all just doesn't seem to be enough. I want to watch someone do these things, then give it a go myself, with my teacher correcting mistakes.

I do know how to "freeze and can" foods and I can bake a cake or biscuts from scratch.

One of my best friends told me that she can't eat my eggs because she's lactose intolerant and can't have dairy products anymore.

I think the media hyped eggs as being in the dairy group, although I never knew a cow that laid an egg.

Once when visiting my mother and having brought her fresh eggs, she went to make some scrambled eggs and used the carton of egg-beaters in the fridge. Oh well, more for us!

My sister thinks it is weird to eat things that come from the yard not the store. I think it is because she is trying to boycot my chickens (she thinks it makes us look more redneck than we really are lol she is the odd ball in our family)

What's better than a omelet made with Egg Beaters, Artificial Bacon, store bought imported from Brazil "fresh" "tomatoes", imitation cheddar cheese and a big glass of fresh pressed Soy Milk to wash it down.

Sorry, I'll take any kind of egg over the Egg Beaters, I don't even think that there is any natural ingredients in it.
