Not meaning to correct, however one point you made about washing eggs concerned me.
Egg shells are porous, so when washing in warm or hot water, whatever is on the outside of the egg will be “vacuumed” inside when washed. If you are concerned about dirt and bacteria, brush eggs off with a dry cloth, or use steel wool or sand paper for really stubborn dirt. If you don’t want whatever is “gross” on the outside of the egg to end up in your food, don’t wash with warm water!

WE love our farm fresh eggs. You need some chickens. They are a great addition to a small farm and a great animal to start with.

I am so happy for you !! Wonderful site as well. Thanks for sharing.

Cool comparison test! I knew the fresh eggs would win out!

I love farm fresh eggs. My friend up in Ohio has a few chickens I would get brown eggs from her. They were way more tasty. We have a chicken farm not far from us here in North Carolina and we bought a dozen quail eggs. They were tiny and speckled. I didnt have the guts to try them…they were too foreign for me. My son tried them and LOVED them. He said they were a little sweeter than “normal” eggs. I may try them next time.

I grew up on farm eggs – we had around 20 chickens in our back yard. It was such an adventure to find “first eggs” – which often were funny shaped or had no shells. Or double eggs with 2 yolks. And we liked the green eggs best. I’m not a big egg eater – but I have noticed that my kids eat fewer farm eggs and stay full longer than with the store eggs.

One funny thing though – the color of the yolk is SO STRONG that when my mom makes White Wedding Cakes, she has to use the store eggs because it turns the cake slightly yellow! Too funny. My mom did extroidinary beautiful cakes until recently when she lost sight in one eye.
