For her birthday I built my daughter a lil coop and bought her a couple chickens to care for. They're cool lil animals for the backyard, and fairly low maintenance. But, now, they're producing eggs and its gnarling me out.

Yes, I know they're fresher and all that, but it just seems creepy.

Knowing where your food comes from usually isn't pretty. Seeing what is making your eggs and seeing where they're coming from probably isn't appetizing. Fancy, hermetically sealed bags with the final product is a lot easier to digest. Pun intended.

Home grown eggs are a real treat pal,,,what are you complaining about?

I'm sure you can cook.

Oh, I love to cook, always have. It's my escape. Cook breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday...and every holiday for my family.

But, hate eating eggs for eggs sake.

I hate that extra little white bugger floating about inside the eggs. I can't help but think that thing was going to grow a beak and feathers...


I'm not a farmer or chicken expert, so I have no idea what that little snot is doing in there.


This is one reason why I stopped eating them.

I hate fresh eggs. Half the time when I need to use eggs, it's to make deviled eggs or egg salad. Fresh eggs are significantly harder to peel than older eggs.

You could go egg RockHawk's house, Pe.

Too far, Rockhawk lives in Spokane.

Farm fresh eggs are the best. Everything else is flavorless to me.

My wife's family raises their own chicken and cattle, so we always get the good stuff for free. Check out this pic of an egg one of the chickens laid last year - the smaller one is about a normal sized egg. The other... well we're pretty sure the chicken was traumatized after that delivery.

TriCHawk - ever try making 50 or so deviled eggs with fresh eggs, though? It takes literally like twice as long compared to store-bought eggs that have been in your fridge for a couple of weeks.

They're going to absolutely rule when it comes to baking and cooking with. That's in my culinary snob wheel house. After that...?

Eggs seem like a commercial product, like Tang or Spam, until the day you see one fall out a chicken.

I've never been able to get down with the brown eggs. They don't feel clinical enough. When I was a kid, we had some Banty chickens that would lay these small greenish eggs. Those felt wrong too, like the Audobon Society was going to arrest me for aborting baby Robins.

Quail eggs are delicious.

There's a membrane that keeps the shell attached to the yolk after its boiled that needs time to release. try cooking them a few days ahead of time

Fresh eggs rule. We had 5 chickens that all died over the past year at the claws of some crafty, unseen, urban mammal. Raccoon or possum, I assume. Shame.

Haven't tried that, but I heard that older eggs have that sort of separated (or that it becomes looser, or something) as compared to fresh eggs; all I know is older eggs own the crap out of fresher eggs when it comes to peeling them. I'll have to get some fresh eggs to try your suggestion with, it'd sure make life easier because EVERYONE loves my deviled eggs, and I feel obliged to make them for anything I need to bring food to because of it. Thanks for the tip.
