Fun facts about Farm Fresh Eggs & Chickens

Eggs are laid with a protective layer called “bloom” that seals the pores on the egg to keep bacteria from entering.

Unwashed eggs can stay on the counter for several weeks.

Washed eggs must be refrigerated and last up to two months.

Store your eggs upside down to help keep them fresh (pointy side down).

Chickens are omnivores. They love bugs, frogs, snakes, mice and other small creatures along with all kinds of vegetation.

Chickens shouldn’t have potato skins.

Farm eggs have 1/3 less cholesterol,1/4 less saturated fat, 2/3 more vitamin A, Two times more omega-3 fatty acids and three times more vitamin E than store bought eggs.

You can tell if the egg is fertilized by there being a white “bullseye” on the yolk.

One egg can have as many as 17,000 pores on the shell.

The breed of the chicken will determine the color of the egg.

The yolks contain vitamin D.

Chickens run faster than humans.

They can also remember up too 100 faces.

Chicken math is real.
