Brown Eggs or White Eggs?

[StopTheMorans]

Poll question: Brown Eggs or White Eggs?

and no, you don't get any "other" choice (pre-emptive strike at poll whiners) :P

1. brown organic!

[WildClarySage]

Chicken abortions? OMG you people are the *worst*! Those little babies dead. Oh, won't somebody *think* of the chicks?

5. have you ever seen the pro-Lifers

bLocking access at the chicken farms?

6. I'm thinking of the chicks right now

Lightly poached, and smothered with hollandaise. :evilgrin:

26. I beg to differ!

Most eggs are infertile and therefore no fetuses (feti?) are killed when eating eggs. However, think of every egg you eat as the process of menstruating in women, when every month the unfertilized egg is expelled from the body. It would indicate that hens are perpetually experiencing PMS. :)

29. POOR HENS!!!!!!!!

[StopTheMorans]

12. no, but bear with me. if brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs

are fresh, what does that make brown eggs? can you draw me a picture? :shrug:

[sniffa]

7. Fresh eggs!

If you haven't had a newly laid egg, you haven't ever had a truly good egg. Doesn't matter if they're brown or white or even organic (thought I wouldn't want anything but).

[StopTheMorans]

10. define "newly laid". does that mean straight out of the chicken?

if it hits the hay or whatever bedding the chicken's area is filled with, does it lose its "newly laid" status?

[cali]

15. Nah, I don't stand around waiting for the gals

to deposit an egg in my cupped hands. I'd classify newly laid as within 24 hours. I'm about to go out and feed my 7 chickens and 1 rooster now. They may have laid a couple of eggs, but my coop's not heated so sometimes on really cold morning like this one, the eggs are frozen. Not so good then, but freshly laid eggs really do taste markedly difference than the ones you get in a grocery store that are weeks and sometimes months old.

13. The best thing is to take it from under the hen, crack it and eat it right

there without even leaving the barn! Doesn't get any fresher than that! :o

[Magrittes Pipe]

22. Plus, it really shows the hen who's boss.

[WildClarySage]

14. If they get too fresh, just slap them.

[demnan]

9. It really doesn't matter

although the best eggs I've ever had were brown ones from an organic free range Maryland farm. Much better than the organic ones in the grocery store.

I also remember fresh eggs when having breakfest in the country on vacation as a kid. Fresh eggs are extraordinarily tasty.

I really miss having proximity to that farmer and his eggs, as I have moved away from the farmer's market.

16. I found that free-range, hormone-free eggs at Whole Foods...

...are only about .10 more per dozen than the cruel eggs at Publix and Kroger. I try to buy cruelty-free when it's practical.

[StopTheMorans]

17. "cruel eggs", BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

sorry, that term amused me. Do you think Humpty-Dumpty was organic? :shrug:

[Modem Butterfly]

24. NO SEX THREADS!

Oh... you said "organic"... okay...

[Jessica]

19. Green.

:P

[StopTheMorans]

21. IDIOT!

:P

[WildClarySage]

27. Is that what they mean by Green Eggs and Ham?

(I thought the pig was libertarian???)

[sendero]

23. I eat..

... 3-4 eggs every morning. I haven't found that much difference between brown and white - what makes the most difference is how fresh the eggs are.

I've tried some of those "premium" eggs, ones that claim higher Omegas and such (fed differently) and at first I liked them but after a while they started tasting funny to me.

One thing for sure - eggs are a great source of good cheap protein!

28. Barely any white eggs in Britain

Don't know why, but they're pretty much all brown. Much prefer organic and free-range.
