How many eggs douse a free range chicken lay a day?
Chickens lay on average 5 to 6 eggs a week, but less in the winter when the daylight is less.
Explain the difference between organic eggs free range and free run eggs vs supermarket eggs?
Confusing isn't it. Lets get this cleared up for you.Certified Organic eggs are eggs from hens who are fed a diet of organic foods. Grains that have not been grown with chemicals and the hens are not treated with medications. "Organic eggs" does not always mean the hens are free range or even free run. Organic eggs can come from chickens kept in cages all their life. They are just not fed with foods that have insecticide or chemical fertilizers applied while growing.Free range eggs. These eggs are collected from hens who have the run of the yard and can forage outside in fields and bushes. Free range means exactly that, the hens are free to go where they wish, free range hens sleep in a chicken coop at night safe from predators but are allowed out during the day to supplement their food with whatever they can find. Not all free range eggs are "organic" The free range hens can be fed with medicated grains, treated with health preventative medicines and can also eat greenery treated with chemical fertilizers, which makes them NON organic.Free run eggs. Sounds a bit like free range but there is a big difference. Free run eggs are from chickens who are not kept in cages but who are kept in large barns. These hens are allowed to roam around the interior of the barn but do not have access to fresh air, fresh food and greenery.
Why do free range eggs cost more than cage eggs?
The USDA has no rules on what can be called a free range eggs. Therefore a chicken that lays eggs in a house where they cant go outside, are crowded, have no clean air, the ground is dirty and littered with dead chickens and feces, and they are forced to live in 24/7 artificial light that helps boost egg production is considered as free range as the eggs lain by the family farm raised chicken that gets to roam in a pasture and eat bugs during the day. Buying from your local farmer ensures true free range eggs. True free range chickens get a greater variety of food and they eat what the like, not what is supplied. Free range hens get fresh veggies and proteins from bugs and insects. A free range egg is always much fresher when bought from the farmer as they are collected daily and not transported for miles to be stored in refrigerated containers or the back of a grocery store for days and weeks. If you get a chance, fry up one store bought egg and one free range farm egg in the same pan. Taste one, then the other and the difference is amazing. Also notice the difference between the yolk colours, the free range egg will almost always be brighter and more appealing
