Which Egg Do You Think Came From An Actually Healthy Chicken?

These eggs come from local groceries, originating from chickens living on large chicken farms, in tolerable conditions, but their diet mainly consists of grains. Yet, there is one basic rule, the more chickens at the farm, the lower their quality.

Surprisingly, certified “organic” eggs might have a light yellow-orange yolk too, as their producers try to meet the outdoor access requirement for an organic label by giving their hens access to a small outdoor pen with a cement floor or dirt ground.

Therefore, the egg in the first image is the healthiest one. Eggs from chickens from local farms are fresh and extremely high in nutrients. What’s more, they even taste much better!

Therefore, enjoy them as often as possible!

At the supermarket, try to find eggs labeled “pasture-raised”, and don’t rely on terms like “free-range’, “organic”, or “vegetarian-fed”.

Organic eggs are from hens that have not been treated with antibiotics and have eaten organically-grown feed, free of GMOs and synthetic pesticides. Yet, this doesn’t mean that they have lived in appropriate conditions.

While the labels “cage-free” and “free-range” should indicate that the hen has had more space in the cage, this doesn’t have to be entirely true, as farmers can still confine these birds with very little or no access to the outdoors.

Yet, you can be sure that eggs that have a pasture-raised label, alongside the USDA Organic and Certified Humane labels or the Animal Welfare Approved label, come from a hen that has freely roamed the farm, ate bugs, spread its wings, and enjoyed the day in the dirt.
