Re: [CHICKENS-101] Egg question

 

We eat lots of eggs at our house and we like fish too. I just don't trust a lot of the fish available in stores and it turns out that a fair amount of wild caught fish is questionable now too due to heavy metals and toxins that accumulate in fish.

I agree Mark. I put the web sites in links in the egg info post so they would be easy to click on and read.  Except for the egg nutrition site, not one of them is part of the commercial egg industry.  The Penn State, thepoultrysite.com, and the others are research sites.  There was one news site that did not give a works cited from research and I was hoping someone would pick that up. 
Because the purpose of an egg is to reproduce, adding more nutrients doesn't change the max vitamins that eggs need to support life.  From experience, I know that store bought boiled eggs are more sulfur smelly than fresh eggs. Fresh eggs taste better even if they don't want to peel when boiled.
 If an egg isn't refrigerated they start to deteriorate and results in lower egg quality. A room temperature, fertile egg actually starts to grow after being laid until the embryo dies if not incubated.  see thepoultrysite.com  That is why fertile eggs for hatching need special temps and humidity conditions to stay fertile longer.
I love eggs and they are my main source of protein. My doc told fish and eggs are the best. Fish is getting iffy...so eggs it is.
