Chicken eggs?

[Kurtr]

Probably go through 18 plus a week. It costs one less beer at the bar not that big of deal to me.

Kurtr, that the way to think about the price, food comes first

 

[Vollmer]

I eat 1-2 dozen per week. Even at the high prices they are worth it to me. I’ve been learning the value of protein vs carbs/sugars as I get older.

I eat them but the wife tries to pick them out.

• What they are:
  • Blood spots: Occur when a small blood vessel ruptures on the yolk surface or in the oviduct during egg formation.
    
    
  • Meat spots: Are small pieces of tissue that detach from the hen's oviduct as the egg passes through.

the "meat spots" part hurt my ovaries reading

My wife is a baker by trade so we go threw 4-6 dozen a week i don't mind the prices we can adjust its the availability that is hardest i live in Williston with 3 grocery stores sometimes all out holiday almost always has a couple dozen in a pinch I've found out we had chickens but can't use those eggs for selling rules you know .

reminds me of the orange/pink flesh of fish that eat krill, freshwater shrimp, etc.

Feed them manufactured fish food and their flesh isn't purty anymore

Yes; especially with salmonids. Caveat: I guess Flathead Lake in MT tried a forage experiment with some sort of shrimp which has proved detrimental. The shrimp and their prey don't have coinciding hours...the shrimp prey heavily on native plankton at night: Seems to me in my armchair; the predators would adapt to a night feed. I guess not.

My armchair solution to this: Sterilized paddlefish with implants and bounties on certain weights.

absolutely... have eaten many like that and have noticed no difference and no ill effect.

Our chickens are free range for about 1/2 the day. We keep them in the coop until about 11am just to try to force them to lay their eggs in the boxes... if we don't do that they will lay eggs all over the farking county.... We feed a mix of peas/corn with a mineral/nutrient supplement mixed in. On top of that they get a couple handfulls of soldier fly larvae thrown out every day and some black oil sunflower seeds as well. They also have access to free choice oyster shells and ground up egg shells from the eggs we eat. We also add in red pepper flakes to their feed as well. This helps to keep them healthy and helps them fight off bad stuff in their guts.

You rich, egg buying bastards! Plain white bread for me every morning. Can't afford a toaster.

Lol

Be glad you don't have balls... Perhaps you could become an ambassador against engineered testicles and the agony of transgender asshole birth.

I prefer sweat shop chickens, those bright orange yolks gross me out

Wouldn't you have a better breakfast and chicken fry with a pellet gun harvest Juanner?...you could still lop of the head for a good bleed. I totally understand the "Long John Silver" syndrome.

Tip of the hat to Petras:

I will take 1, 3 than 2 in that order. The # 1 has lots of night crawlers and green grass. # 3 is bugs and green grass. #2 is just grain.

I have never wanted or needed enough eggs to ever pay attention to the price...this reminds me of the great toilet paper hoarding of 2020

 

[Tymurrey]

The egg prices have been good for my daughters egg business. We don't have a lot of chickens, get maybe a dozen or so eggs a day. We only sell to friends and family that bought from us before crazy high prices and we raised our prices from $2/dozen to $3/dozen. We get a few duck eggs mixed in and a goose egg every day or two but no one says they are any different. I couldn't believe the difference when comparing farm fresh to store bought. I could never go back now.

 

[KDM]

Most meats, milk, and produce are farm fresh if you think about it. The difference is the amount of personal attention given to each critter/plant by the man/woman taking care of them IMO. A man/woman that knows each and every critter in their care WILL NOTICE when something is not up to snuff on their farm, investigate it, and fix it if they can. Be that a nutritional shortfall, a medical issue, an injury, or whatever. Folks like that take pride in their animals and what goes on theirs or other peoples tables for them and their children. When you do that, the end product will always be far superior to the mass production farms where the main concerns are pounds of meat/eggs per pound of feed going in and the fastest and cheapest way to get to the marketable endpoint. (Yes I know that's an oversimplification, but the point is the same) Small farm attention to detail produces the best food IMO.

 

[bigv]

We sell our eggs for $4 a dozen and a half. Should go up I guess but not in it for money obviously. just have eat eggs ourselves and have lots extras so sell them to others for fun. Once you eat farm fresh eggs you'll never want to go back to the store eggs with 0 flavor.

 

[WormWiggler]

if you don't have an egg lady, are you really trying?

 

[Sluggo]

We get farm fresh eggs, Walmart eggs and Natural Grocer eggs. I don't know if I could tell you the difference in a blind taste test. To me they all taste like bacon!

 

[Fester]

Watery eggs with foul smell=bad. If it aint stinky and watery its a good egg.

[Traxion]

I don’t know if I could tell either. But I’ve failed blind soda tests that I swore I’d know. If you want a real challenge, do a ketchup brand identification challenge. Impossible lol.
