Well in a local taste test brown eggs hot off the press

and white hot off the press, no taste difference.
On another note I Think I may have my mystery white egg layer down to one of my Cochins the other is laying brown. If white eggs aren't local eggs maybe one of my ladies might be outsourcing the laying of the white ones

Hi all

I can see why there are many who feel there is no taste difference between the eggs from home raised chickens and store bought.

My next door neighbor raises several breeds, laying white, brown or green eggs. All had the same in bland taste as current store bought eggs have even though I got them 30 minutes after they are laid.

On the other hand, I have recently had eggs from a farm, with an unknown method of production, that had the flavorful, wonderful taste that I remember from my youth!

My goal I to produce these tasty eggs. I assume it has to do with the feed. I am betting it is grass and bugs and such that makes for that great taste.

Please inform me ? ty

I use Blue Seal feed in combination with letting them feed themselves by scratching around my farm. So I would say that yes it is the free range feeding that makes the eggs taste so sweet. Although Blue Seal is one of the few feeds actually made in America not overseas, in N.H. the make it in the Southern part of the state.

You betcha! Free range eggs are the ones with the really orangey yolks and rich flavor.

I was reluctant to eat them at first. But I did, I am now having all the sunnyside up eggs that I didn't for years.
What I found in the flavor is that the "sulfer" taste is gone. I think the older eggs get, the more sulfer-y they get.
I notice that my eggs have a buttery flavor, and have more tender whites.
And when I cook mine, the odor in the house isn't as strong as store eggs.
Dippy eggs with home made bread--yumm!

right I made white cake, which became yellow cake because the yolks were so very very orange LOL

Even mayonnaise is yellow from fresh eggs! I made mayo one day and someone was visiting and asked me why I put mustard in it. LOL

We just love the fresh taste of our eggs!! My MIL was the one that had to be convinced. The first time I gave her eggs she called me and asked if they were spoiled because the yolks were orange!! I said No, that is what makes them yummy!

my grandfather used to make me 'dippy eggs' when I was a kid. He used a little lard and the edges would get a little crispy and a flip just long enough to firm the whites....

I still cant do it

PS I know the chickens laying the eggs we have been getting from my cousin are fed cracked corn and grains in addition to everything else, in my opinion the corn makes them rich and tasty.
