We have a local family run restaurant that uses free range eggs - the only place that I eat eggs. That is until last weekend. On the way to our grand daughter's b'day party we stopped at a Waffle House and I ordered eggs. The yolks were a rich golden color, and the eggs were great????? Wonder where they got them?

Our layers are slowing for the winter...good treats and lots of fresh water keep the production *just* enough to get by for our weekly use.

But with all the Christmas cookie baking - well, I've had to resort to store eggs for those. I figure there's enough sugar, chocolate, coconut, sprinkles, etc....in the batter that store eggs won't matter too much. Maybe. To everyone but me.

I think I'll start baking Christmas cookies in July next year and freeze 'em for December! If they make it that long?! Maybe. Hey, that'd free up lots of time for other Christmas related items that never seem to get done as well as I'd like....perhaps I'll finally be able to rival the neighborhood light parade across the street - I've got the lights, just not the time to get 'em up! Bwahahaha....a plot is hatched!

I was having to buy eggs for a bit while I was waiting for our girls to start laying. I got to the point that I would not eat the eggs for the store. I was lucky that the restaurant that we eat at on Friday night sells farm fresh eggs( mine now too When I have them). I will eat eggs at a restaurant only if they are scrambled.

We had to buy some recently.... very reluctantly but their shells were like thin paper! Plus they were awful! Thank goodness for fresh eggs from my girls! I feel your pain! LOL

I have been getting fresh eggs now for a month and could not imagine eating eggs from the store. And to think my family would not eat the eggs i gave them cause they were not federaly inspected. All well there loss

We had to buy eggs, again, the other day...my loving husband bought the cage free, free range eggs.

They still aren't as good as what our pets give us. I figure that, even though they are free ranged, those chickens are still not as loved and spoiled as ours are.

Also, the eggs are probably pretty old, as old as the "caged" white ones...

The funniest post I've seen on this subject was the lady with her 7 year old daughter in a restuarant for breakfast and the little girl ordered scrambles eggs. When she go um she sat there looking at um and her mother ask was something wrong? The little girl called the waitress over and asked, "what is this"? The waitress said it's the eggs you ordered, sweeheart. The little girl ask, why didn't you cook the yolks with it? They all just looked at the plate and she didn't eat it. When a 7 year old know the difference, it noticable for sure.

A store near us was sellling eggs recently for 49 cents per dozen. I figured it was a cheap way to get some protein into a couple of my molting layers, so I bought a dozen. One morning after gathering eggs, I had a couple of cracked ones, so I decided to scramble them with some of the store eggs for the hens. The difference in yolk color when I broke mine next to the store eggs was incredible. I can see why the little girl thought they hadn't used the yolks.
