      Our chickens lay eggs in a nest box so it's not covered in poop but there is some from time to time. Also many don't realize that chickens can sometimes have a little difficulty laying and you may even see a little blood on eggs, especially with new layers or with particularly large eggs (double yolks)

    When eggs are laid by chickens they have a layer on them called egg bloom. This is a natural protective layer that protects the porous eggs. When washed the eggs lose the egg bloom and they put mineral oil on to act as another later to protect the porous eggs. Leaving them unwashed they are usually shelf stable for 3 weeks, and up to 3 months refrigerated. I sell eggs from my chickens unwashed and they taste amazing. The only time I would recommend washing them is if you are going to boil them. Otherwise you can crack them open with no exposure really to any potentisl fecal matter.

      It's because the video is quite wrong in suggesting something else. Everyone stores eggs in the fridge, because that way they last as long as they should. Eggs at room temperature will go to waste quicker. The key thing that's different is in washing eggs or not, which by the way isn't 'illegal' in Europe.

    I remember the first time I bought eggs that weren't refrigerated in a shop - this was in Central America and not only were they not refrigerated, they were a bit old. Nothing wrong with them, just that the white had become VERY watery. They tasted fine but the texture (when scrambled) was a bit wet - I don't think they would have held up to a sunny-side-up or over easy treatment. Fast forward, I moved to Germany and yeah, I often find "dirty" eggs in a carton here. Sometimes I get a downy feather! No worries on my side.

Anything green, so grass and other plants like basil and whatever. The egg shells started coming out green and sometimes spotty like yoshi eggs. The inside still came out like a normal egg though. 🤷 They we're also small size to medium the majority of the time. Mostly small.

      @@LEXICON-DEVIL sorry, I understand that's how you saw it, but it's literally impossible for a hen previously laying white or brown eggs to start laying green or blue eggs. The blue egg gene came from South America, where it became widespread due to a virus that selected for blue egg layers (long story, the blue colour is a different way for the bird to process excess bile). The blue pigment does not develop in mature layers, it is present genetically in the chick. Green eggs are the result of crossing blue layers and brown layers--they're blue underneath with brown pigment over top, creating varying shades of green. Potentially you had a green-laying hen that didn't lay for the first while.

The classes the eggs are divided on are organic/non-organic, different stable conditions (from 100% outside to 100% in a small stable) and the size of the egg (M, L, XL and so on).

Supply chains have become so efficient (and every egg is documented on its surface) that in Germany, UK and France the average time since laying to being on a store shelf is less than 26 hours. There simply is no need for cosmetic, and potentially dangerous, early washing or refrigeration to hide an issue further up the supply chain.

    I’ve kept unwashed eggs from my chickens on the counter for months. Eggs last a REALLY long time. Having my own chickens was a game changer. Letting them free roam and giving them the best quality food I can find. They’re happy and loving pets if you take care of them. In return, they give you incredibly delicious eggs.

I 100% agree with you caged is just terrible. I'm no farmer but what the regulations are and what i've learned over the years is that free range just means the chickens have access to the outside but that can literally just be an open door in the side of the barn that leads has a small fenced area by it and when that area can be EXTREMELY small. Like a few square feet for an entire barn and the types of chickens that are breed/raised on factory farms don't actually want to be outside in the first place. Anyways, that's what i meant by saying that. Free range isn't all it's cracked up to be, no pun intended, but it is better than caged. If you know something i don't please feel free to fill me in.

    "Longer shelf life" is often what things come down to. Remember, in America we buy a lot of food at once and usually have it for a while. We have probably 40 eggs sitting in our fridge right now, for example, and we don't exactly zip through them.
    In other countries people go shopping a lot more often.
    For this, 'looks' also makes a big difference. If you go to a typical supermarket here, most of the food on the shelves has to look 'perfect'. Yes, there are places you can go to find more natural food, but most places a lot of people shop have extremely high standards for how the food looks. People would freak out if they opened their carton of eggs and an egg was dirty at all.
    (Noting that I said how a food looks, and not necessarily overall quality. A funny looking orange might be even juicier on the inside than one that looks perfectly plump and round. But you won't find the funny looking one on the shelf).

      @@codelyoko363 Part of the reason is because we have few small stores where we can easily buy things. Most of our towns are very car dependent and have mostly big box stores that are not conveniently located so a trip to the store could be a 20 or 30 minute commute. Thus its the norm to stock up to minimize time spent commuting. Also some of use just hate shopping so we buy lots at once so we don’t have to do it often.

    When I was growing up I was almost 12 before we bought eggs in a store, before that we had lived around the rest of my family. My family are all farmers, so we always had fresh eggs, most days the eggs went from the hen house to the skillet. When my parents moved to Alaska we had to buy store eggs and man did they taste nasty to me. Was years before I could eat store bought eggs without adding a lot of extra stuff.
    The only real difference in eggs is like you said what they are fed, not really anything else. Also most people if they can, do refrigerate foods that really don't need to be.

    • @monkeywash4374

      Factory farm chickens are fed and finished to reduce any flavor in the eggs. I think it's because so many companies use eggs for things that aren't supposed to be "Eggy" like custard, ice cream, cakes etc.
      I definitely prefer breakfast eggs to have that good eggy flavor you get from free range chickens, eating what they naturally eat, but I do appreciate the need for bland store bought eggs for instance when making flan or meringue.

    I'd love to see a video like this about the "twin" egg phenomenon i.e. an egg with two yolks in it. I get those pretty rarely, but one time I bought a dozen of eggs and I kid you not, every single one had two yolks in it. Every. Single. One. It was one of those "extra large egg" brands. Made me wonder...was it pure coincidence, is there something that they do to make eggs "extra large" that makes "twin" eggs more likely, or is it just that they put all their biggest eggs together and since "twin" eggs are generally bigger, I just got lucky?

    In Sweden the eggs are unrefrigerated in the food store but put in the fridge at home. If it says on them that they expire on the 25 of September, like those I bought today, it means that you can probably eat them until the 25th of October if put in the fridge.

    As usual, an excellent video on how we Americans store our eggs before consuming them, but what if you are an avid backpacker egg lover? In that case, it is recommended that one smear a thin coating of vegetable oil over the egg and place them in a proper break proof carrier. It will add days to keeping the eggs fresh enough to eat. It had not occurred to me before, but I bet the oil fills in the pores that develop as the shells expand as they warm to room temperature. As with all perishable food stuffs, of course, it's our own good judgement that keeps us safe from bacteria while enjoying our great outdoors. Great video. Thanks!
