Everyone has a name except the pig babies we sell and the poultry. And the only time we kill chickens to eat is when there's too many roosters. Aren't fresh eggs the greatest thing? REALLY makes you wonder what they do to the comercial variety to make them so pale and tasteless. Scary. Dena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 My uncle had a chicken farm in Texas. He had THOUSANDS of chickens, and he candled all the eggs by hand the old-fashioned way! (He's dead now.) As a young girl, he would show me the good eggs via the "candle," and he would tell me what size they were. "This is large, this is X-large, this is too small for market," etc. I crack up when I open a dozen "large" or "X-large" eggs from the supermarket. My uncle called these "too small for the market" in his days. Just goes to show you how much we have been propagandized today to believe whatever they wish us to believe.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 Absolutely, there's no comparison between the commercial and the home grown. Love, Doc PS. We will soon be getting a hundred new chicks and I absolutely refuse to name any one of them, though Valorie and Bryan may have a different idea ;o) Ian "Doc" Shillington N.D.505-772-5889Dr.IanShillington Oh-Oh, LOL.
