As a child in the 70s, I raised chickens on a small farm. While in high school I did a science project where I took some of the eggs and put them in an incubator for the class to follow the development and birth of the chicks. When hatching day came I, along with some of my classmates and the teacher, observed the event. Out of the total number of eggs, a third did not hatch, another third hatched but had deformities of some kind, and only about a third appeared healthy. I had noticed that our eggs had a funny taste for some time but could not figure out what it was. The answer came some years later. We had used Kepone to combat chicken mites and other pests in the coop. If you don't know what Kepone is then please look it up. This left an indelible impression on me as I had undeniable proof that whatever a hen consumes goes directly into the egg. Please only buy organic pasture raised eggs if it is the only organic thing you buy. There are far more deadly things that could be in the eggs you consume or feed your family than Omega-6.
Pasture raised organic are the best. Running about $6.99 now, but I am still buying. Tastes great, with a deep golden orange color in the yolk. Can't even taste ordinary eggs.
I would buy the pasture raised chicken eggs and I did for years. Fortunately, I get the most beautiful eggs from a close relative now. What a difference. They are so superior! And the chickens are loved!
@wayner2288 not telling. You cannot have normal life if the wrong people change the area. Normal American life still exists. I buy my eggs at a local diner where they sit by the dozen at the register. Sticker on the recycled carton identifies local farm.
I'm blessed to have a neighbor who gives me eggs. He has 25 chicken, 25 more chick's being raised up. He has close to 3 acres that they roam free in. Love seeing them scratch up bugs and such
We have spoiled chickens! I give them organic feed with freeze dried worms and flax seed. I dry crab shells when I have them, and grind them up for them. They get all the grubs I dig up in the garden and all the extra kefir I’ve been making. Most importantly, they have plenty of room. Would love to have the eggs tested.

We have 5 hens who supply us with more than enough eggs for our needs. I love my girls and it breaks my heart to see all those chickens in cages and crowded conditions. 💔
I had 5 pet chickens before I moved to my current location, where they aren't allowed. I miss my girls, they were loved, well fed, had a beautiful coop and run, and a chicken tractor to protect them when I put them in the grass. They did all have distinct personalities. Those poor chickens who suffer in those "chicken factories," no living thing should have to live like that, even if they are for food or eggs.
Yes those eggs are gross. I got the organic or free range or whatever brown eggs from Costco and they are so pale and watery. They have heritage blue eggs now, but they’re not organic so they could be keeping them in any kind of conditions and feeding them all kinds of crap and just supplementing with alfalfa to get the yolks to be orange.
So does it matter whether or not the eggs are organic? I just buy the organic egg whites from Whole Foods or Publix. I don’t think it says on the box how much room they have to walk around. But I do think it says cage free.
organic refers to what the chickens are fed. Cage free means they are all crowded together in a big room instead of being in a little cage. The egg whites are the least nutritious part of the egg and the most likely part to give people bad reactions, so if you’re going to consume egg whites, it should probably be the highest quality eggs you can get, which would be pasture raised and organic. (I guess if you’re just making a dessert recipe with egg whites it doesn’t matter since you’re not eating that for the health benefits.)
I'm glad here in the UK we generally have a better standard for most of our foods (livestock & arable). Even still, we have a lot of problems still with animals being mistreated and poor living conditions. I use to regularly shop at my local small greengrocer & noticed the difference. Sometimes I would get fruit or veg that was going squishy and she would give me a discount!! I was happy as I often intended to eat those things same day anyway. I noticed that the local honey was really nice and we could even get some things like turmeric root grown locally which I definitely wouldn't find at the supermarket! I'm glad to see that now there's a market appearing for people who are actually conscious of what they're eating, so glad that more and more people are able to sustain these companies who are doing the right thing! The more we support them, often the cheaper they'll be able to produce over time as well.
I use to have a hobby farm. Had lots of chickens, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl , geese, etc. etc. I mainly ate the chicken eggs but also some of the others here and there. Best eggs ever.
We have raised our own chickens for awhile now. We do use standard feed because its affordable. We also give them greens, bugs, etc when we can in warmer months.
12 dollars a dozen at the store where I live. There is a local, 30 minute drive, who sells their extras, but not always home and they don't always have extra. But good price and you see the chickens in the yard. We stop if driving buy just in case. On the way to town and the store. Taste fantastic. A flat of eggs is 11 dollars. So for the non rich still a far better choice than wasting money on bread or cereal.
Eggsquisite video! 00:29 🐔 Chicken space matters: From caged to pasture-raised, the amount of space chickens have significantly impacts their health and the quality of their eggs. 02:34 🥚 "Natural" doesn't mean much: Terms like "natural" and different grades don't indicate the health of the chicken or the quality of the eggs. Look for "pasture-raised" instead. 03:54 🍳 Omega-6 impact: High levels of omega-6 fatty acids in eggs can negatively affect health, causing inflammation and impacting various bodily functions. 04:21 🌾 Feed quality matters: Organic feed without soy or corn, supplemented with insects and ample space for chickens to roam, can significantly reduce omega-6 levels in eggs. 05:30 💰 Investing in health: While pasture-raised organic eggs may cost more, they provide higher quality and support healthier farming practices, serving as an investment in personal health and well-being.
Omg thank you so much Dr! I literally was having this conversation at work yesterday with someone. They straight up told me they simply dont care about the welfare of the animals they are eating, mind you this was a "healthy" person. It was so demoralizing to hear someone say that, and from person experience it really seems to be the popular opinion, to not care about how the animals are treated. Its honestly disgusting, how can anyone confidently say "they dont care"? I just really appreciate you spreading the good word Dr. , i hope more people catch on.
I live in Texas and can find pasture raised eggs at like $3 a dozen in just about every corner. My boss actually has her own chickens so I get them from her. And its nice when we dont have room in the fridge since you can keep those out for weeks.
Not stores, people. I see signs outside houses all the time. But there are plenty of farmer's markets around here in the north Houston area and even find them on Facebook Marketplace or the like.
Get mine from a farm down the road, free range on pasture - literally in a field. Its a charity "Farm for City Children". Cheaper than supermarket, and often get sweet notes from City children who spend a week there. My young Danish niece when visiting was quite concerned about the "orange" yolk, never seen one before that wasn't pale yellow. I explained to her Dad that the nutrition was much, much higher than the pale mass produced. (He has become almost carnivore since his visit. Yaaah! )
I am fortunate to have my own chickens in a my backyard. I have 10 chickens in a 8' x 16' coop/pen and once a day they get to range the backyard and eat all the bugs, grass and whatever else they can find. I feed them a mix of fermented oats/flax/sunflower seeds/peas/millet/kelp plus the chicken pellets for which I get 4-6 eggs per day. Not sure of the actual cost is - $7.00/doz seems a bit low, but the eggs taste so good its worth it!👍
On my homestead, I give my chickens fish oil and they're getting almost an acre apiece of pasture, trees, and bugs. Those eggs are EXCELLENT. I only supplement their natural diet rather than the store bought feed being the primary nutrition.
Yes, I consider them worth it. The price tag typically comes with better ag practices and are often from smaller run, local farms which I prefer to support. I've found they are also more fresh.
Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Honestly i don't trust the label.Thank you for your time every day i learn the new thing from your information, it's so great and valuable. ❤
I purchase my eggs from a local man who comes to our community twice a month. I pay 8.00 for 20 regular size (which are huge) and 9.00 for 20 jumbo. I would say too that out of the gigantic jumbos 18 of the 20 are double yoked. Tremendous flavor!
We get all of our eggs in Western PA from 2 local organic farmers for $5 and $6 per dozen. We are blessed and lucky to have these guys because my husband and i eat 6 a day usually. Thankyou Dr. Berg for sharing this very important and disturbing information. My heart goes out to all the chickens except the pasture raised ones who have a way better quality of life it seems.
You're right and it's definitely worth it, Dr Berg. Loved your insightful take based on your own research, observation and expertise. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I found Utopihen eggs that are organic, pasture raised, and corn and soy free. You can usually find them at a local organic market, and they're cheaper or at least the same price as big box organic eggs.
I think you should go see for yourself what free range often really means.. chickens are let outside on an empty stomach and 5 minutes later the indoor feeding process starts and the chickens rush back inside where they remain locked. Rince and repeat 1 day later. Not all but many.
I only buy directly from the farmer 6 minute walking distance. Pasture raised. It is 3,80€ for 10 eggs. Supermarket sells "organic" eggs for 3,60€. But who the hell knows if they really are organic, pasture raised? I don't trust the supermarket. I trust the farmer where I see thechickens run around. Direct from the source. No bogus happening in between producer and supermarket. I would drive to a farmer if it wouldn't be near to me too. P.S. I eat 4 eggs every other day and my blood work is superb. Studies shown 6-7 eggs a day raise your testosterone by a shyt ton! Greetings from Germany.
@@christinevictor544Hi, the balance between omega 3 and omega 6 is important for healthy cholesterol levels. I eat about 200 grams of nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts) + salmon daily which are high in omega 3 fatty acids. Problem is most people don't eat enough omega-3's and too much omega-6 ehich are high in processed and fast food. That is the secret behind my good cholesterol. Do your own research on omega 3+6 balance and its effect on blood cholesterol! Good luck to you.
Well, I get mine delivered here in Austria from a farmer . He brings them to us every week. They are in a pasture and cost only €2.75 for 10. In the shops they cost€5.00 for 6. The eggs from our farmer are larger and always fresh. That is why I get 20+ every week.❤
There is a recent study called Organic Egg Consumption: A Systematic Review of Aspects Related to Human Health. The conclusion, preliminary evidence from human studies suggests that organic eggs may have nutritional advantages over conventional or non-organic eggs, possibly related to the higher levels of carotenoids and the reduction in the inflammatory potential of the diet. So yes , it is worth every dollar !
Place a couple of RESCUE fly trap lures, in a screened in area that will act as an odorant only, disabling the liquid trap part. Hundreds of flies will be attracted to your chicken pen. Also, some rotten meat can be used to attract yellow jackets. Look up how to make a yellow jacket trap, disabling the trap part. If mosquitos are a problem, put in a few mosquito lures in there and let the chickens take care of your pest problem naturally.
The problem is that many families cannot afford to eat pasture raised eggs or any sort diet that includes lots of organic animal protein. I personally use plant proteins (primarily beans and hemp) to off set the cost of eating organic animal proteins.
Just learn all about seed oils and omega 3 versus omega 6 so you can continue to stay on the healthiest road possible. Knowing the "seed oil" information "cold" as we used to say is VITAL. This includes naming the hateful eight and reading every package content of what you buy in a bag, box, bottle, can or order at a restaurant.
Good morning Dr Berg, I buy Organic pasture raised eggs and concume 4 eggs daily. I live in WI only reason I don't buy from farmer's market because I don't know what kind of feed they are using. Thank you Sir you changed my life for better I do Healthy Keto and OMAD.
Totally agree. And it’s definitely worth it, but unfortunately many of us can’t afford that or grass fed meat. I have an entire family to feed every day. The good eggs are $8-$10. They’ll be gone in two days. I wish I could afford better food for my family and I.
Don't feel bad. A lot of this stuff is hype. When I was a kid eggs were supposed to be bad because of cholesterol. I am going to continue to eat affordable eggs without guilt. I don't believe his hype.
@@grantschiff7544 Thanks. 🩷 With this, I don’t believe it’s hype because when I purchased pasture raised eggs a few times years ago the yolk was much darker and the shell was thicker. I just can’t afford it so I went back.
I buy 8 dozen at a time Unwashed eggs can sit on counter or in a larder For a month easy We eat 1 dozen eggs a day 6x a week I wish we had 15 hens (some won’t lay some days)
I’ll take a dozen eggs Dr. Berg please 😊it’s almost impossible to find that type of egg where I live as we have so much snow, and cold weather but I’m going to find a farmer somewhere somehow if it kills me as I eat a lot of eggs since I found your channel, plus I also fast, you’ve helped me immensely to get healthy !!! 😊🙏👏👍🏻
I buy organic brown eggs from Costco. One day they were out and I had to buy white cage free eggs, and when I cooked them they seems rubbery and not fluffy like the Organic.
@Kwildcat13 It doesn't matter because you don't know the difference, or because you don't care how they come? Not sure what you mean by "doesn't matter"
In Sweden it was recently discovered that the organic eggs had high levels of PFAS:s due to the fishmeal feed. Was under the allowed levels but still like 50x higher than conventional eggs.
I have 4 backyard chicken hens I keep in a moving coop/chicken tractor. I added several extra cages that I link to the tractor so I can cover more ground and give them more room. They have a total of 5 cages/runs linked together about 3-4'X 6' long. Plus I sometimes put up an additional fenced area with deer netting for even more room to forage. I always give them access to a Layer/Crumble mix and throw in extra weeds, and leaves as well as mung bean sprouts that I make in jars. Because they have the extra space, I move the whole set up about every 10 days. If you just have one 4'X6 chicken run you should move every day or two. I saw some Coturnix Quail eggs in Dr. Berg's video too. Highly recommend those as well and I have a growing set up for them. Very well suited for people with small spaces who want eggs and even raise meat. The roosters are not obnoxiously loud like a chicken, so a better choice for breeding and not disturbing your neighbors. Most places have no rules against them either, like they do for chickens. They are actually adapted to live in small spaces like a cage and testing by experts shows they lay more and get along better with each other in about 2-3 birds per square foot, as long as the male to female sex ratio is appropriate.
I take the label 'organic' with a grain of salt. Why? Because the air is polluted, filled with all kinds of particles that settle on the same grass these chickens are raised on. Water is polluted to some extent. You have no guarantee that chemicals, etc are not blown in from somewhere to land on your soil. So for me, as long as the farmer feeds his chickens healthy food, lets them get some pasture, are not crammed into little spaces, and treats his flock humanely, I'm good.
My man! I dont like eggs particularly but my wife eats them. And we get the good eggs too. Regular eggs even have colorant in it to make the yolk more yellow when it should have an orange tint to it if healthy. And chickens are carnivores, eating veg only is insane! Bugs and worms are what they should eat. Your right. Hard to provide that. But that is carnivore!
I live in Canada and have not been able to get pasture raised eggs. Stayed away from eggs for months but recently had to buy organic free range which seemed like my best option 😢
If you can try Healthy Planet, they carry pasture raised eggs from Alderwood Farms. And The Big Carrot 🥕 if you're in Toronto, they carry a few more brands as well. I imagine that more places have them but I haven't checked yet.
Totally agree but with the stock "B" roll of the eggs frying in a Teflon pan. I know, it's not easy to find royalty free stock footage. Where I live, in the desert, few decent farmers markets.
Thank you for raising this. I am lucky enough to have a small farm nearby who sell their eggs on the roadside and my partners dad has chickens. The quality of the yolk and shell is so different from any you can buy in the stores.
We live in the country and buy our eggs from a family friend who keeps chickens as a hobby. We currently pay $2 per dozen! I love the character of these eggs compared to store bought. When I open the carton and see the different colors and range of sizes along with feathers and crap still stuck to the eggs, it just makes my day!
My first year in animal science at university of Maryland we learned that the conditions allowed by the USDA created unhealthy animals and toxic food. But as veterinary and Animal Science hopefuls, if you want a career in the government, you’d have to turn your eye away and approve these large corporations. We did tests and analysis on eggs from chickens in humane, no stress environments who had room to do natural behaviors. They were far superior. I’ve never bought factory farms eggs since then, even if I’m broke I just won’t eat eggs before I eat that junk.
YES!!!!The energy of the animal during their lifetime is sooooo important. Thank you. This is why all MEAT should be pasture raised. A healthy, happy, organic being is a healthier animal being.
Generally it's best to really learn who the seller is here. There are plenty of corners that can be cut and still fit into the Organic label. Where sometimes there's a seller that didn't choose to pay for the organic label yet is not cutting those corners. Local farmers markets where you can speak directly to the seller and ask all these questions or even visit the farm is the most secure way to ensure quality
THAT's what you heard? 😂 F-ing bleeding hearts, maaan... Sooo... you don't care about the poor? You want to double (or triple, depending on your ambitions for chicken lifestyle) the price of their eggs through regulations? Did I get you between a rock and a hard place now? 😂
We've had chickens for a couple decades now and i really wish everyone could get their own chickens. The eggs are night and day different from store-bought.
bought some BJ"S regular white large eggs... eggcidentlly overcooked one ,and decided to bounce it off the floor it looked rubbery and was ~! it bounced 3 feet off the floor~!!
It would vary by feed and space for whatever you would buy so the point seems to be that Omega 6 is reduced which needs to be avoided to prevent inflammation.
You’ve got to be kidding me!!!! All this TIME I’ve been eating lots of eggs on Keto, carnivore, now I find out most of them are packed with omega-6?? I’m so blown away! You try to do things right…and then stuff like this! I’m on a very fixed income, I eat a lot of eggs, I can’t afford expensive eggs!! Ruined my day!! Even pasture raised, how do we know what they’re feeding them? UGH!!!! 😭😭😭
dont worry, its not that much compared to the nutrients you get. as dr. berry would say on carnivore diet, its better to eat hot dog than being on a non carnivore diet if you dont have the budget
I used to sell my eggs for $10 dozen and some people complained. They had no idea how much work and money I put in those chickens. Their feed organic free from corn, soy and canola was not cheap. Plus I was fermenting vegetables for them do as grain and mixed with homemade kefir. I would also forage for nettles and grind into their food. My clients said it was the best egg testing they ever eat in their life. One client tested my eggs in lab and he said it was very high in omega 3 and other nutrients
I recently moved out of the city and many of my new neighbors have their own happy chickens that are cage free pretty much all day. The eggs are delicious and cheaper than in stores - only $5 for 12 eggs which is not bad as for San Diego area.

Thank you! I woke up thinking about eggs - unfortunately I’ve been buying them at Costco and I do have a Farmer’s Market here. No more Costco eggs!
Costco also sells organic eggs, not just "plain" eggs.
Yes those eggs are gross. I got the organic or free range or whatever brown eggs from Costco and they are so pale and watery. They have heritage blue eggs now, but they’re not organic so they could be keeping them in any kind of conditions and feeding them all kinds of crap and just supplementing with alfalfa to get the yolks to be orange.
Yeah costco anything is bad
So does it matter whether or not the eggs are organic? I just buy the organic egg whites from Whole Foods or Publix. I don’t think it says on the box how much room they have to walk around. But I do think it says cage free.
organic refers to what the chickens are fed. Cage free means they are all crowded together in a big room instead of being in a little cage. The egg whites are the least nutritious part of the egg and the most likely part to give people bad reactions, so if you’re going to consume egg whites, it should probably be the highest quality eggs you can get, which would be pasture raised and organic.
(I guess if you’re just making a dessert recipe with egg whites it doesn’t matter since you’re not eating that for the health benefits.)
Thank you Eric for all that you ARE🙏 this topic is dear to my heart, and educating the public on chickens is soo important❤🙏❤
I'm glad here in the UK we generally have a better standard for most of our foods (livestock & arable). Even still, we have a lot of problems still with animals being mistreated and poor living conditions. I use to regularly shop at my local small greengrocer & noticed the difference. Sometimes I would get fruit or veg that was going squishy and she would give me a discount!! I was happy as I often intended to eat those things same day anyway. I noticed that the local honey was really nice and we could even get some things like turmeric root grown locally which I definitely wouldn't find at the supermarket! I'm glad to see that now there's a market appearing for people who are actually conscious of what they're eating, so glad that more and more people are able to sustain these companies who are doing the right thing! The more we support them, often the cheaper they'll be able to produce over time as well.
I use to have a hobby farm. Had lots of chickens, ducks, turkeys, guinea fowl , geese, etc. etc. I mainly ate the chicken eggs but also some of the others here and there. Best eggs ever.
Hi Dr. Eric Berg PC 😊 & Thank You For All Of Your Hard/Smart Work 👍
We have raised our own chickens for awhile now. We do use standard feed because its affordable. We also give them greens, bugs, etc when we can in warmer months.
Pasture raised organic! Cost $7.99 & up
12 dollars a dozen at the store where I live. There is a local, 30 minute drive, who sells their extras, but not always home and they don't always have extra. But good price and you see the chickens in the yard. We stop if driving buy just in case. On the way to town and the store.
Taste fantastic.
A flat of eggs is 11 dollars. So for the non rich still a far better choice than wasting money on bread or cereal.
I figure it is worth it, but it kind of hurts every time I see the cheap eggs right next to it. :D
@@TanukiDigitalsolution: swap the expensive eggs out into the cheap box ;D
They are 10.00 where I live and I buy them
Trader joes and Aldi has them for about 5.69 where I'm at
This is eggactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for your eggcellent content !
Eggsquisite video!
00:29 🐔 Chicken space matters: From caged to pasture-raised, the amount of space chickens have significantly impacts their health and the quality of their eggs.
02:34 🥚 "Natural" doesn't mean much: Terms like "natural" and different grades don't indicate the health of the chicken or the quality of the eggs. Look for "pasture-raised" instead.
03:54 🍳 Omega-6 impact: High levels of omega-6 fatty acids in eggs can negatively affect health, causing inflammation and impacting various bodily functions.
04:21 🌾 Feed quality matters: Organic feed without soy or corn, supplemented with insects and ample space for chickens to roam, can significantly reduce omega-6 levels in eggs.
05:30 💰 Investing in health: While pasture-raised organic eggs may cost more, they provide higher quality and support healthier farming practices, serving as an investment in personal health and well-being.
Some people simply have too much wasted time on their hands.

Omg thank you so much Dr! I literally was having this conversation at work yesterday with someone. They straight up told me they simply dont care about the welfare of the animals they are eating, mind you this was a "healthy" person. It was so demoralizing to hear someone say that, and from person experience it really seems to be the popular opinion, to not care about how the animals are treated. Its honestly disgusting, how can anyone confidently say "they dont care"? I just really appreciate you spreading the good word Dr. , i hope more people catch on.
Those people are the same ones who are very selfish and don't care about other people in their life include their own children.
Human are different to animals because we have COMPASSION and MORAL. Without it, we are no better than animals.
I live in Texas and can find pasture raised eggs at like $3 a dozen in just about every corner. My boss actually has her own chickens so I get them from her. And its nice when we dont have room in the fridge since you can keep those out for weeks.
Oh, really? Please name the Texas stores.
Where? Are there locations in Houston?
Not stores, people. I see signs outside houses all the time. But there are plenty of farmer's markets around here in the north Houston area and even find them on Facebook Marketplace or the like.
@phroskies ok, thanks! Will look into farmer's markets near me. Have a blessed day.
Ur very unique
Get mine from a farm down the road, free range on pasture - literally in a field. Its a charity "Farm for City Children". Cheaper than supermarket, and often get sweet notes from City children who spend a week there. My young Danish niece when visiting was quite concerned about the "orange" yolk, never seen one before that wasn't pale yellow. I explained to her Dad that the nutrition was much, much higher than the pale mass produced. (He has become almost carnivore since his visit. Yaaah! )
That’s awesome
Why become a carnivore is a good thing now? The Dr. told you to eat a lot of vegetables too
@@adw6894 it runs in our family, the ant- vegetable gene. Qw so so much better without them.
I am fortunate to have my own chickens in a my backyard. I have 10 chickens in a 8' x 16' coop/pen and once a day they get to range the backyard and eat all the bugs, grass and whatever else they can find. I feed them a mix of fermented oats/flax/sunflower seeds/peas/millet/kelp plus the chicken pellets for which I get 4-6 eggs per day. Not sure of the actual cost is - $7.00/doz seems a bit low, but the eggs taste so good its worth it!👍
You're right and it's absolutely worth it, Dr Berg. Love your humour and insightful research to provide high quality content. Thank you 👍🏻❤
On my homestead, I give my chickens fish oil and they're getting almost an acre apiece of pasture, trees, and bugs. Those eggs are EXCELLENT. I only supplement their natural diet rather than the store bought feed being the primary nutrition.
Yes, I consider them worth it. The price tag typically comes with better ag practices and are often from smaller run, local farms which I prefer to support. I've found they are also more fresh.
Thank you so much Doctor Berg. Honestly i don't trust the label.Thank you for your time every day i learn the new thing from your information, it's so great and valuable. ❤
I purchase my eggs from a local man who comes to our community twice a month. I pay 8.00 for 20 regular size (which are huge) and 9.00 for 20 jumbo. I would say too that out of the gigantic jumbos 18 of the 20 are double yoked. Tremendous flavor!
yeah they tend to be twice the size of normal eggs with 2 yolks inside 😂
@@milanghale719 Some have double and if they don’t, they’re still the same size. 😂
We get all of our eggs in Western PA from 2 local organic farmers for $5 and $6 per dozen. We are blessed and lucky to have these guys because my husband and i eat 6 a day usually. Thankyou Dr. Berg for sharing this very important and disturbing information. My heart goes out to all the chickens except the pasture raised ones who have a way better quality of life it seems.
You're right and it's definitely worth it, Dr Berg. Loved your insightful take based on your own research, observation and expertise. Thank you so much 🙏🏻
Really good talk. Enjoyed it, learnt a lot
Happy to know that you enjoyed this video. Thank you for watching!
I found Utopihen eggs that are organic, pasture raised, and corn and soy free. You can usually find them at a local organic market, and they're cheaper or at least the same price as big box organic eggs.
I think you should go see for yourself what free range often really means.. chickens are let outside on an empty stomach and 5 minutes later the indoor feeding process starts and the chickens rush back inside where they remain locked. Rince and repeat 1 day later. Not all but many.
I only buy directly from the farmer 6 minute walking distance. Pasture raised.
It is 3,80€ for 10 eggs.
Supermarket sells "organic" eggs for 3,60€. But who the hell knows if they really are organic, pasture raised? I don't trust the supermarket. I trust the farmer where I see thechickens run around. Direct from the source. No bogus happening in between producer and supermarket.
I would drive to a farmer if it wouldn't be near to me too.
P.S. I eat 4 eggs every other day and my blood work is superb.
Studies shown 6-7 eggs a day raise your testosterone by a shyt ton!

@@christinevictor544Hi, the balance between omega 3 and omega 6 is important for healthy cholesterol levels. I eat about 200 grams of nuts (walnuts, almonds, peanuts) + salmon daily which are high in omega 3 fatty acids.
Problem is most people don't eat enough omega-3's and too much omega-6 ehich are high in processed and fast food.
That is the secret behind my good cholesterol.
Do your own research on omega 3+6 balance and its effect on blood cholesterol! Good luck to you.
You say this by how do you know the farmer is cutting costs either?
Well, I get mine delivered here in Austria from a farmer . He brings them to us every week. They are in a pasture and cost only €2.75 for 10. In the shops they cost€5.00 for 6. The eggs from our farmer are larger and always fresh. That is why I get 20+ every week.❤
There is a recent study called Organic Egg Consumption: A Systematic Review of Aspects Related to Human Health.
The conclusion, preliminary evidence from human studies suggests that organic eggs may have nutritional advantages over conventional or non-organic eggs, possibly related to the higher levels of carotenoids and the reduction in the inflammatory potential of the diet. So yes , it is worth every dollar !
Place a couple of RESCUE fly trap lures, in a screened in area that will act as an odorant only, disabling the liquid trap part. Hundreds of flies will be attracted to your chicken pen. Also, some rotten meat can be used to attract yellow jackets. Look up how to make a yellow jacket trap, disabling the trap part. If mosquitos are a problem, put in a few mosquito lures in there and let the chickens take care of your pest problem naturally.
The problem is that many families cannot afford to eat pasture raised eggs or any sort diet that includes lots of organic animal protein.
I personally use plant proteins (primarily beans and hemp) to off set the cost of eating organic animal proteins.
Just learn all about seed oils and omega 3 versus omega 6 so you can continue to stay on the healthiest road possible. Knowing the "seed oil" information "cold" as we used to say is VITAL. This includes naming the hateful eight and reading every package content of what you buy in a bag, box, bottle, can or order at a restaurant.
*Just eat any eggs which you can afford. Better than most foods out there* 👍💪
Good morning Dr Berg, I buy Organic pasture raised eggs and concume 4 eggs daily. I live in WI only reason I don't buy from farmer's market because I don't know what kind of feed they are using. Thank you Sir you changed my life for better I do Healthy Keto and OMAD.
So where do you get your eggs then?
@@amandaf6329 Good morning, I buy from local grocery store who sells Organic posture raised.
Totally agree. And it’s definitely worth it, but unfortunately many of us can’t afford that or grass fed meat. I have an entire family to feed every day.
The good eggs are $8-$10. They’ll be gone in two days. I wish I could afford better food for my family and I.
Don't feel bad. A lot of this stuff is hype. When I was a kid eggs were supposed to be bad because of cholesterol. I am going to continue to eat affordable eggs without guilt. I don't believe his hype.
@@grantschiff7544 Thanks. 🩷
With this, I don’t believe it’s hype because when I purchased pasture raised eggs a few times years ago the yolk was much darker and the shell was thicker. I just can’t afford it so I went back.
Pasture raised chickens lay delicious eggs and most nutritious ones . No contest here
Here in Commiefornia 7.00 a dozen eggs are 10.00 to 12.00 a dozen, and i buy a lot of them.
Thanks Dr. ❤
I buy 8 dozen at a time
Unwashed eggs can sit on counter or in a larder
For a month easy
We eat 1 dozen eggs a day 6x a week
I wish we had 15 hens (some won’t lay some days)
I’ll take a dozen eggs Dr. Berg please 😊it’s almost impossible to find that type of egg where I live as we have so much snow, and cold weather but I’m going to find a farmer somewhere somehow if it kills me as I eat a lot of eggs since I found your channel, plus I also fast, you’ve helped me immensely to get healthy !!! 😊🙏👏👍🏻
Dr.Berg thanks for your Eggspertise💯
Thank you so much for your work !!! It’s very helpful!!!
I'm so glad it helps!
My daughter only eats duck eggs. Gets them from local farmers at the farmers market usually. She swears by them.
Eggselent presentation!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I buy organic brown eggs from Costco. One day they were out and I had to buy white cage free eggs, and when I cooked them they seems rubbery and not fluffy like the Organic.
Costco brown eggs are cage free, not pasture raised.
@Kwildcat13 It doesn't matter because you don't know the difference, or because you don't care how they come? Not sure what you mean by "doesn't matter"
Its organic / pasture raised for me , now , or nothing .
Blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia .
I like my Dr Berg organic grass fed pasture raised 😮
Right now I'm on very low budget, so I'm getting the cheap eggs, cheap meat and so on, but still avoiding sugar, carbs, fruits, seed oils etc.
In Sweden it was recently discovered that the organic eggs had high levels of PFAS:s due to the fishmeal feed. Was under the allowed levels but still like 50x higher than conventional eggs.
I have 4 backyard chicken hens I keep in a moving coop/chicken tractor. I added several extra cages that I link to the tractor so I can cover more ground and give them more room. They have a total of 5 cages/runs linked together about 3-4'X 6' long. Plus I sometimes put up an additional fenced area with deer netting for even more room to forage. I always give them access to a Layer/Crumble mix and throw in extra weeds, and leaves as well as mung bean sprouts that I make in jars. Because they have the extra space, I move the whole set up about every 10 days. If you just have one 4'X6 chicken run you should move every day or two.
I saw some Coturnix Quail eggs in Dr. Berg's video too. Highly recommend those as well and I have a growing set up for them. Very well suited for people with small spaces who want eggs and even raise meat. The roosters are not obnoxiously loud like a chicken, so a better choice for breeding and not disturbing your neighbors. Most places have no rules against them either, like they do for chickens. They are actually adapted to live in small spaces like a cage and testing by experts shows they lay more and get along better with each other in about 2-3 birds per square foot, as long as the male to female sex ratio is appropriate.
I like the darker yolk eggs and buy those when I can.
Chemicals added to deepen the color
Farm eggs are bright orange
How do you see through the shell?
That cracks me up….lol. 🥚
Duck eggs have a real deep dark yolk.
Only organic eggs from my local farmers, I like to know what they eat most of them have vegetables,
You also need to know what they are doing to control parasites. Often, the feed contains pesticides to control parasite outbreaks.
I take the label 'organic' with a grain of salt. Why? Because the air is polluted, filled with all kinds of particles that settle on the same grass these chickens are raised on. Water is polluted to some extent. You have no guarantee that chemicals, etc are not blown in from somewhere to land on your soil. So for me, as long as the farmer feeds his chickens healthy food, lets them get some pasture, are not crammed into little spaces, and treats his flock humanely, I'm good.
If anyone says there is no difference, it means that person never ate good eggs in his/her life.
My man!
I dont like eggs particularly but my wife eats them. And we get the good eggs too.
Regular eggs even have colorant in it to make the yolk more yellow when it should have an orange tint to it if healthy.
And chickens are carnivores, eating veg only is insane!
Bugs and worms are what they should eat. Your right. Hard to provide that.
But that is carnivore!
Pasture raised are the very best!
I can’t wait for the cicadas to come out! Watching the chickens go after them is like watching kids play fumble football 😆
I live in Canada and have not been able to get pasture raised eggs. Stayed away from eggs for months but recently had to buy organic free range which seemed like my best option 😢
If you can try Healthy Planet, they carry pasture raised eggs from Alderwood Farms. And The Big Carrot 🥕 if you're in Toronto, they carry a few more brands as well. I imagine that more places have them but I haven't checked yet.
Why not buy ur own chickens
@@Aaroncadwellmaybe where they live, they can’t have animals .
@@LunaPaloma77 Thanks for this info. I'll check them out.
Yep in Canada we don’t have pasture raised in grocery stores. I get the organic ones from Costco. 24 for 12,49$.
I like that you made this presentation eggstremely simple 😅
I get pasteur-raised, no soy
The good eggs also have less of that sulfur smell to them. That was the first thing I noticed when I started buying them years ago.
2:50 Chickens also eat bugs and also other small critters.
Ya' think?
Hmmm. Are those bugs organic? :)🤔😇
Totally agree but with the stock "B" roll of the eggs frying in a Teflon pan. I know, it's not easy to find royalty free stock footage. Where I live, in the desert, few decent farmers markets.

I LOVE Aldi's pasture raised eggs. VERY deep color, wonderful!
Thank you Dr.BERG
You're so welcome!
Thank you for raising this. I am lucky enough to have a small farm nearby who sell their eggs on the roadside and my partners dad has chickens. The quality of the yolk and shell is so different from any you can buy in the stores.
That's great. Enjoy there.
hi dr berg, is Vital brand good?
Yes, very good eggs as they are pasture-raised
We live in the country and buy our eggs from a family friend who keeps chickens as a hobby. We currently pay $2 per dozen! I love the character of these eggs compared to store bought. When I open the carton and see the different colors and range of sizes along with feathers and crap still stuck to the eggs, it just makes my day!
Crap on eggs always makes my day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
$7/dozen certified free range 150 sqft/per chicken is what I buy.
My first year in animal science at university of Maryland we learned that the conditions allowed by the USDA created unhealthy animals and toxic food. But as veterinary and Animal Science hopefuls, if you want a career in the government, you’d have to turn your eye away and approve these large corporations. We did tests and analysis on eggs from chickens in humane, no stress environments who had room to do natural behaviors. They were far superior. I’ve never bought factory farms eggs since then, even if I’m broke I just won’t eat eggs before I eat that junk.
I'm an Independent Latino. Here in Illinois Organic eggs start at $5.00 for dozen eggs - Organic Pasture eggs start at $9.00 dozen eggs.

YES!!!!The energy of the animal during their lifetime is sooooo important. Thank you. This is why all MEAT should be pasture raised. A healthy, happy, organic being is a healthier animal being.
YOU FAILED to mention if there is a difference between Organic vs Non-Organic Eggs.
He has video(s) about it too...comes down to (non)organic feed pretty much.
Generally it's best to really learn who the seller is here. There are plenty of corners that can be cut and still fit into the Organic label. Where sometimes there's a seller that didn't choose to pay for the organic label yet is not cutting those corners.
Local farmers markets where you can speak directly to the seller and ask all these questions or even visit the farm is the most secure way to ensure quality

You say your eggs are "much" " much" higher in omega 3 ,couldn't you give us some numbers and ratios please?
It would vary by feed and space for whatever you would buy so the point seems to be that Omega 6 is reduced which needs to be avoided to prevent inflammation.
I would also be interested in this information. I would be very surprised if there is actually a significant difference.
You’ve got to be kidding me!!!! All this TIME I’ve been eating lots of eggs on Keto, carnivore, now I find out most of them are packed with omega-6?? I’m so blown away!

Even pasture raised, how do we know what they’re feeding them? UGH!!!! 😭😭😭
dont worry, its not that much compared to the nutrients you get. as dr. berry would say on carnivore diet, its better to eat hot dog than being on a non carnivore diet if you dont have the budget
