When did your golden comets start to lay?

The egg on the right is a large store bought egg.

Happy the day when you no longer have to buy store bought.

Truth! Here in Colorado, all eggs are cage free, but I watched a documentary about egg production and how the chickens are treated and I was horrified. I don't mean to get up on a soapbox or anything but I am very excited to get away from store bought eggs as much as possible.

Cage free is meaningless really, they are still shot up with hormones and antibiotics and many have health issues due to overcrowding.

Yes, the commercial operations are disgusting. Even the "organic" are not truly so.

We have a neighbor we gave eggs to and she said she doesn't want anymore because she can't tell the difference between ours and store bought. I had to work hard to stifle a laugh.

Yes, cage free was a feel good law that got passed. They are still allowed to stuff just as many chickens (maybe more) into a sweat shop of a barn with absolutely no time outside and not even a window.

A friend gave me a dozen of her eggs from her chickens back in February and they were amazing!! I swear I could taste that the chickens were happy and cared for! That's about the time I started looking into getting my own chickens. Your neighbor is silly.
