Know your eggs
Here is a link to an article on eggs. I love fresh eggs. I went to check yesterday and brought in 12 from my hens. I guess my husband forgot to gather them while I was out of town. Chickens are so easy to keep and so rewarding.
Conventional: Hens live in stacked cages, usually four to eight chickens to a cage with at least 67 square inches of floor space per chicken.
Cage Free: Hens live on the floor of a barn rather than the outdoors or in a cage.
Free Range: Hens live outdoors or have limited access to the outdoors.
Organic: Hens are fed vegetables grown without any antibiotics, growth hormones or commercial fertilizers.
Omega 3: Hens are fed a diet containing ground flaxseed, which produces eggs containing slightly more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
