No difference between pasture raised chicken eggs and caged chicken eggs.

Date sort Score sort
What I’m getting from this discussion is that chickens in cages and chicken with outdoor access to “pasture”, when fed the same diet and not moved around on said pasture have very similar eggs nutritionally.

So in order to determine whose feeding regimen is best we’re gonna need a volunteer and a lab... everyone who insists their feeding is the only good way can collect 10 eggs from their flock, mail them in to our happy volunteer who can them have them analyzed for nutrition levels! (Insert slightly sarcastic tone here)

I’m not sure what’s more interesting... the study or the reactions to it! And I highly doubt it was put up here as a personal attack on anyone’s management style/feeding program! But it sure was a fun way to spend 25 minutes or so.

It all about how free-range is defined. No headway on that front in thread.
 
To me it's the sensational title of "No difference between pasture raised chicken eggs and caged chicken eggs."

When the atricle linked clearly states the difference. It's the author of the article's opinion that those differences aren't a nutirtional advantage, when their own data disagrees. But again, that opinion is based on 70 year old "science" which can legitimately be called into question with 70 years of further examination. KE Anderson is not omnipotent, to my knowledge. It's the fundamental misunderstanding of science that picks at my vent hole.

Somebody does not like "spin".
 
I put grit in a tin but I recently started to sprinkle it along the soil next to the side fence where they seem to go along regularly, there is no grass there so they must have been pecking at something so that's why I put some there.
 
I think Kris5902 is the first to totally get it. I have to admit, this post and the subsequent reactions have made me smile. The internet is a crazy place.
