Chicken eggs?

[snow2]

Crazy grocery store prices for em,
Not long ago .99/doz. Now ^^^ so neighbor has free range chicks, $1/doz large eggs,question i have is the yokes,som orange some red normally store bought are yellow yokes. Are yoke colors a indication of bad or old eggs? Curious as never seen colored yokes b4.

 

[Shockwave]

Farm fresh eggs usually have darker in color yokes that are closer to orange. I don't know about red, I haven't seen any with red yokes.

More so their diet. Most farm eggs have orange yolks.

 

[Jiffy]

Those are real eggs is all. Wait until you taste them. Red one I want to see. I’d probably toss those, not sure

 

[bigv]

No. We have chickens and most of their yokes are orange-ish. Usually depends on diet. So ours eat cracked corn and a feed that has ground oyster shells in it. Also, free range a bit when we let out of coop. So get bugs, seed grasses etc.

The chickens have been outside eating grass. When they start eating green grass they get a bright orange. That is the big difference between free range and captive birds.

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

I've heard that the orange just means they are more fresh, but IDK. I'm guessing some of the other replies come closer to the mark. I get some fresh eggs from my niece, and they are no different IMO.

Do you eat the farm fresh eggs with brown specks or blood spots in them?

I do. Just change the game plan from sunny side up to fried hard. Red tint to yolks are diet related. Feed them the leftover beet or pepper bits after processing and you will see it.

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.

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.

My experience when I had laying chickens was the whites when you crack them in a pan don't run all over like water.

$7/dz here...f that I'll give up eggs while I watch my buddy's chickens shit gold and patiently wait..

 

[guywhofishes]

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
