I didn’t know about all of the other elements mentioned here, but EGGS are an excellent food source of vitamin D. When the egg shortage first appeared, that was the reason I suspected. Haven’t we heard from the beginning of Covid that a Vitamin D deficiency was present in those who fared the worst? Yes, it’s obvious “they” don’t want us to be healthy. We eat two eggs fried in coconut oil every morning. I buy the expensive ones - there IS a difference, between GOOD eggs and those mass produced pale, sickly ones.

We hope to start producing our own soon!

We started with 5 laying hens and are up to 25 and 25 meat birds. There is no comparison of commercial eggs to what we get. We now supply eggs to everyone who wants them. They are a lot like potato chips though....you cannot just have one.

Beware, roosters are loud, and ours start crowing sometime in the middle of the night (2 AMish) and go all day. But, they are beautiful creatures, and we love all of our chickens.

Nice rooster...🤣 He might be nice to you, maybe. Have fun. Nothing is quite as satisfying having a living egg factory. ♥️

Yep. Did you see that video of the guy who compared his coop to 15 min cities?

The chickens never leave because they have everything they need, own nothing, and are happy.

He said a bunch of stuff that the WEF, etc. wants for us while showing us the coop that was unsettlingly similar.

For my entire adult life I didnt eat them because I have high familial cholesterol and was told not to. I now read that the cholesterol of the egg yolk does not give you cholesterol! 🙄 It is also very healthy to eat! So I have started eating them at 65. BETTER late than never. i do have to take a statin though after avoiding them forever. Nothing natural works. Very high ldl and total. I also get pains when off med, doctor probably said its the arteries.

My mom lived to 88 with the same thing and statins. My died had a massive heart attack at 45 and died at 55 so I have to be careful.

Bear in mind the linear decline in human-useful nutrients that starts minutes after the egg is laid. One study I heard on satellite ag radio suggests that "most" human nutritional value is lost from factory-farm chicken eggs within 4 weeks of laying date. Same study said that the average supermarket egg is 2 weeks old by the time it makes it to the shelf. I cannot find a print article to support this (sorry). Even if only partly true, this is another very good reason to support your local / backyard chicken farmer.

I cook the eggs the same as you do and also love to make omelets. Recently I tried poaching for 5-6 minutes (I take salmonella maybe too seriously), and they came out great, just slightly loose yolk. Anyone know which way of cooking preserves most of the nutrients?????

I’ve read that over cooking reduces nutrients, so I make mine a little runny.
