you know your gonna have a bad day when

You might never if you saw what happens to said area when they DO lay an egg...or a poo, for that matter. Not pretty, but wow, what a skill!

When you consider the relative size of an egg to the size of the hen...no wonder they cackle! Ladies, could you imagine giving birth every day??

Over here in the Berkshires we have green eggs.

my parents farm in VA WAY back in the day, they raised hens that laid green eggs.

My favorite was the tiny little hen that used to roost in the bushes by the house. She didn't lay much, but the ones she did lay were only slightly larger than robin eggs. Of course, the cat was probably twice her size, so no shock there.

Mostly we have white eggs here, but I did get a half dozen of organic brown eggs a few weeks ago...mostly because I only wanted a half dozen and they didn't have any half cartons of regular eggs left. My egg salad tasted the same, though.

We have had chickens most of my life and I have found that the colour of the egg is purely random in my experience. And they all taste the same anyway.

That guys swapping egs? what a douche. Most eggs labelled as "free range" arent - so he's getting the same eggs anyway.

I always open the carton just to make sure there are no broken shells and you would be amazed at how many times I find 1 or 2 eggs missing from each dozen. Whether it is some stealthly theif or the producers - I couldnt say

And regarding where eggs come from? my favourite quote I heard was "Chicken is the only animal you eat before it's born AND after it dies"

"you do know where they come from don't you?"

You've seen the size of an egg? You've seen the size of a chicken's bum? That's what all the clucking was about. I was trying to say in chicken talk "For God's sake, get me an epidural!"

I have always seen both colors of eggs at the grocery store.. I didn't know that some places only had one of the colors. Learn something new everyday I guess.

Red Dwarf for the win!

One coworker at a temp job raised chickens that laid blue and green eggs. I don't remember what breed the chickens were, though.

Araucana, or a derivative breed, most likely.

If you want eggs that taste better try Turkey, Duck, or Goose eggs. They yolks are thicker and they have a much richer taste.

A friend of mine raises free-range, organic chickens.

The eggs she sells are generally blue or brown, depending on what type of chickens she has at any given time.

The yolks are a dark yellow, almost orange, and the eggs taste SO MUCH better than the store-bought ones.

She says it's because the chickens are free-range (i.e. they aren't caged and just come home to roost or lay).
