Commercially Produced Eggs vs Home Grown Organic Eggs Hands down, home grown organic eggs are much more healthier for you than commercially produced eggs.
The vitamins and nutrients you get in organic eggs that have been produced by cage free roaming hens is so much more prominent that commercially produced eggs.
You may be one of those that won't eat an egg that hasn't been commercially produced and examined for defects, etc.
More than likely, you probably will think differently after you read the following.
Cage Free Roamers: When a hen is allowed to roam cage free and eat bugs, vegetables, etc.
, the eggs are rich in protein and/or vitamins that our bodies need in order to be healthy.
Pesticides: Home produced eggs have a much greater chance of being pesticide free - not so with commercially grown eggs.
Feed that is fed to commercially grown chickens can have undesirable elements added to it and pesticides are among them.
Rich Color: Perhaps you will remember seeing cake or cookie dough that your Mother prepared when you were very young or heard your parents speak of a much more yellow color of dough that eggs help to provide opposed to today's egg color.
That's evidence of a healthier hen that has eaten a diet rich in nutrients.
Egg Size: Perhaps you have noticed the size of eggs in more recent years have been getting smaller.
Many times small eggs are labeled as large in comparison to the size they used to be.
Commercial eggs are produced from hens that are not as happy or healthy as cage free roaming hens; therefore, it stands to reason that the eggs can be smaller.
Less Prone to Disease: Hens that are housed in a good chicken coop safe from the elements and allowed to roam cage free are less likely to get diseases opposed to commercially raised hens.
Cage free birds are not cramped in small cages, so therefore, they are happier.
Many times commercially raised hens are housed in a hangar or warehouse in cages that are cramped and stacked many cages high.
Disease is common in these types of chickens which compounds things since infected birds can cause the eggs to have salmonella.
And what happens when infected chickens are processed with chickens that perhaps are healthier than they? It stands to reason that the meat has a really good chance of being contaminated with the diseased chicken meat.
Eggs Not Properly Transported: Another real possibly of commercially produced eggs is that when transported, the eggs are not stored at the proper temperature thus causing the one consuming them to have a really good chance of getting sick.
You will not have that problem when going to your backyard chicken coop to gather the eggs and immediately place them in a cooler.
You will know how the eggs have been transported and how they were chilled.
Don't you think it's time to get back to a more basic lifestyle where we can be more healthier? Many people will tell you that nutrition is a great place to start in order to get on your way to a healthier, happier you.
And raising your own chickens that will provide you with organic meat and eggs is a start in the right direction.
