at this moment...how many eggs are there in your frig?

[kenny]

7 raw white
2 hard boiled white.

This is no longer true, please don't think I'm a liar.
There is a perfectly logical explanation.
Some eggs have been eaten since I wrote this two days ago.

12 free range, organic eggs. All to be hard boiled tonight so I have them for snacks during the week.

12 recently expired eggs
12 "good eggs" (HA!) bought to replace the former.

(I can't remember what color they are inside their cardboard coffins!) Our refrigerator is where perfectly good food goes to retire.

12 white. This is one of the craziest threads that DF has started and we know he's had some ' doozies' along the way.

What's up with the egg question, DF?

 

[soocool]

I have 2 dozen - 1 dozen white from a farm store and 1 dozen brown from a neighbor who raises chickens and sells the eggs. I can't really taste the difference between brown and white, but I can definitely tell the difference between fresh eggs and the ones sold in grocery stores.

if it is so crazy then why are you replying?..

 

[Kaleigh]

None. If I want breakfast which is rare I go out for it.

When kids are here, yes we have brown eggs, they are all "into" organic anything...

Hey DF, will you cook me up some bacon tomorrow morning?? And I would also love some fresh squeezed OJ with that....

Lord knows we made you breakfast for years...

Time to pay it forward.. As long as you are at it?? Pancakes would be swell, with REAL maple syrup...

Ladies, back me up....

DF has to do this..

Hens in battery cages live their entire lives never being able to spread their wings. Battery cages are wire cages for egg-laying hens, usually about 18 by 20 inches, each with up to 11 birds inside. A single bird has a wingspan of 32 inches. Cages are stacked in rows on top of each other, so that hundreds of thousands of birds can be housed in a single building. The wire floors are sloped so that the eggs roll out of the cages. Because feeding and watering is sometimes automated, human oversight and contact are minimal. Birds fall out of cages, get stuck between cages, or get their heads or limbs stuck between the bars of their cages, and die because they cannot access food and water.

There is no legal definition of “cage-free,” and a cage-free hen is not necessarily a free hen running about a pasture. Often, cage-free hens are running around crowded barns, with little or no access to the outdoors.”Cage-free” does not mean the hens are treated humanely. They may still have their beaks cut off in a practice called “debeaking,” because it cuts down on the amount of injuries when they fight each other. They may still be pumped with antibiotics and hormones. When they are too old to lay eggs at a profitable rate, they are slaughtered for cheap meat. In hatcheries, female chicks are sold to become laying hens, but male chicks are killed because they are useless for laying eggs, and they are the wrong breed to be profitable meat chickens.

The only way to ensure that the eggs you are eating are from hens who are humanely treated and pasture raised is to eat the ones I posted earlier in this thread, or to get them from a local farmer where you can actually see how the hens are treated.

Sorry for the threadjack, but this is something that I feel very strongly about and it is no laughing matter.

Sheer curiosity, nothing more. Besides, you have great/crazy sense of humour.

 

[yssie]

12 white.
The other 12 went into the eggnog

 

[MsP]

0.

But 3 cartons of egg whites.

I can't remember the last time I had eggs in my fridge.

 

[Bella_mezzo]

0-my son is allergic

 

[Clairitek]

6 white.

DH and I each have 2 for breakfast in the morning. We should have bought 2 dozen instead of just one at the store two days ago.

 

[stephbolt]

There were 19 white when I left for work this morning - I bet we are down to 18 now though if DH got up early enough to make himself breakfast.

We both eat eggs almost every morning so they are always in our fridge.

 

[HollyS]

8 or 9 good ones. 2 from a much too old package that needs to be tossed. White.

 

[that_someone_special]

3 white!!!!!!
