Poll - Are your eggs better?

[Devyn Nagy]

I'm interested to see the results! Probably just about everyone will say yes...

I don't really notice a taste difference, if that's what you mean.

But, I know that my chickens get to free range every day on 3 acres. They're content, healthy, and certainly not stressed.

Aside from those things, since I can't say 100% that the eggs for sale aren't from chickens with the same circumstances. At the very least I know that my eggs are fresher than the store bought ones, and not washed where as all store bought eggs here are required to be.

So I feel that yes my eggs are better than store eggs. Also, I don't have to drive half an hour to the store, I just need to camp the nest box. :3 Thankfully I haven't had the problem of them all going on hiatus on the same day.... yet.

Yes! And a bonus is thinking of my happy, healthy hens running around in the grass! Here is an article on this subject: Store Eggs vs. Farm Eggs

I notice a pretty big difference in taste, especially with egg salad, for some reason egg salad tastes so much better with my girl's eggs. Scrambled and fried taste a little better, but the egg salad packs a lot of flavor when I make it with our girl's eggs.

Yes! Except hard boiled. I don't have the patience to let eggs set for a week or two before boiling to make them easy to peel.

Every other aspect, mine are better. Closest store bought egg is 40 minutes one way. I'm a bit biased.

I have definitely noticed a massive taste difference. The have so much more flavor than the ones you get at the supermarket.

add vinegar to your water when boiling. It makes a world of difference when peeling

And even better, boil them in an instant pot, they peel even nicer. But i would still rather just boil them with vinegar than wait on the instant pot to pressure up, cook, and then pressure down. I'm not that patient

Tried vinegar. Salt. Oil.

I cannot get yesterday's eggs to peel worth a darn. Last week's eggs do okay.

Vinegar, salt, baking soda, never had any luck. I butcher boiled eggs.
I can't remember what store eggs taste like but I know I won't eat a store egg hard boiled or over easy,.
