Delicious & healthy eggs. They're delicious boiled, fried, or poached.
WHY ARE CHICKEN EGGS THE ONLY ONES IN STORES? FARMERS MARKETS, ORGANIC OR SPECIALITY STORES MAY SELL QUAIL EGGS, BUT WHAT ABOUT GEESE, TURKEYS, & DUCKS?
FIRST, LET'S DEFINE EGG. BIRD EMBRYOS DEVELOP IN EGGS TILL HATCHING. THEY FEED & PROTECT CHICKS.
BIRDS OVULATE LIKE WOMEN. WITH HUMANS, THE CYCLE LASTS 28 DAYS; IN BIRDS, IT'S DIFFERENT.
CHICKENS ARE NOTABLE. EVERY 25 HOURS, YOUNG HENS OVULATE. EGGS ARE EXPELLED WHETHER FERTILISED OR NOT.
DEPENDING ON BREED & MANAGEMENT, YOUNG HENS LAY 250 TO 300 EGGS EVERY YEAR UNTIL THEIR FIRST FEATHER CHANGE AT 2 YEARS (CARE, CULTIVATION & BREEDING).
SINCE CHICKENS ARE LOW-MAINTENANCE, THEY ARE WELL-SUITED FOR INDUSTRIAL EGG PRODUCTION.
