Brown eggs or white ??

[Wolverine]

I've wondered that too. As a kid I remember mom always removing that white chit. I never asked her why.

My wife did the same for years. After we got our own chickens, she searched the web and found out it was in fact not the embryo. Hasn't removed it since.

 

[P.M.P.]

We just got some chickens in September have 25 hens get chit load of eggs. Isa browns,buff orpington,and a couple easter eggers that lay blue. The orpington lay some big ones.I heard the white ones you get in the store are bleached plus fed a bunch of bad pumped with venom to grow and lay faster.

My Mother-in-law says that the squiggly chit is Rooster cum.....

We have some white Leghorns that lay white eggs.

Duck eggs taste different than chicken eggs, most of the flavor comes from what the animals eat.

Just can't figure why crabs taste so good eating rotting fish ??

I guess I'm screwed then, but not in the traditional manner.

Lots of folks I work with here on base in mid-Ga have farms, animals, etc...par for the course here. Lots of farming and whatnot. Several guys put up farm fresh, free roaming, chicken eggs for sale on all the bulletin boards within the three aircraft hangars. Bad thing about it is they all want $3 plus a dozen for them...some guys want $4 a doz. Crazy, when you can swing by Kroger, Wally World, etc and buy 18 Grade A Large for .88 cent. That's not a typo either...less than a dollar. Pick your poison I suppose. I would certainly go with the free roaming, farm raised birds but at that difference of a price, I'll take the 18 eggs for a buck all day long.

1 dozen for free range here in Kansas

The big question is: What is that white sqiggly chit right beside the yolks?

We have some white Leghorns that lay white eggs.

Yeah that's what we call it too. I like how the yolks on the fresh brown eggs stand up nice and proud in the fry pan, store eggs just flatten out and are a bit blah.

I'm lost??...do you mean $1 a dozen where you're at for free range?

 

[jakethesnake]

Buck a dozen

 

[jakethesnake]

They bring 2 a dozen here

 

[USMC615]

Buck a dozen

Damn that's good...I'd do it all day long here if free range, farm eggs were a buck a dozen.

I like the tag above your sig...lol.

One thing I've heard for many years, but again it's simply relative to the egg size...brown eggs have more Onega-3 fatty acids, which is a good thing, in comparison to white eggs. Only stands to reason that comparative size eggs from a brown or red chicken, physically bigger bird, eats more feed, eats more bugs, etc, than a white chicken, is going to have more. It's all proportional. The brown eggs are simply a little bigger based on grade size.

Same here $2 a dozen.

 

[USMC615]

Same here $2 a dozen.

I'd be willing to cough up $2/doz here, but I ain't paying $3-4 doz that's for damn sure. And these guys are dead set on their prices. They either eating a helluva lot of eggs every day or eventually chunking them one. It's a no-brainer when I can get 18 Large for .88 cents. Of course 99% of grocery store eggs are not free range, the ones they do offer that are free range...they're higher than what the local boys want. I guess somebody's gotta pay for that high dolla trucking and shipping. Just ain't gonna be me.

88 cents for 18 is crazy cheap. They're 2 something a dozen in the grocery stores here. There's an "organic" farm just down the road that's getting fifty cents an egg for free range.

Only thing my grandmother would eat was brown eggs when I was a kid, and I still like them better
