Why does egg shell color vary and does egg quality vary with the color of the shell
Colour changes in egg shell are due to the pigments called porphyrins being deposited while the eggs are in the process of formation. The process of colour change holds relevance to the breed of a bird which means colour change is natural. Additionally, shell colour has nothing to do with egg quality, flavor, nutritive value, or cooking characteristics.
What are those spots in my egg? Are they safe to eat?
Yes. They are not harmful and do not affect the nutrition or usability of the egg. You can simply remove the spots with a knife tip or leave them and use the eggs normally. Either way it's not a problem.
It can be caused by a minor blood vessel rupture on the yolk surface when the egg is being formed. This does not affect the health of the hen.
Are brown eggs better than white eggs?
There's actually no nutritional difference, it is simply down to the breed of hen. The shell is composed mainly of calcium carbonate, which is white. If the hen lays brown eggs, the natural pigments of the brown egg are added to the shell in the last hours of shell formation.
Are Omega 3 and 6 and the other nutrients destroyed by cooking?
All of our nutrients are fat soluble and the heat takes up only the fat, not nutrients. We have the best bio availability of nutrients in a natural way.
Do we offer farm tours?
No. We can’t risk the health of the hens by getting them in contact with anyone who might have had droppings of migratory birds accidentally on them or on their dresses and belongings.
How often do we inspect our farms?
The sheds are totally temperature controlled and are run by least human interaction possible to reduce human error. The feed mill is tested and checked multiple times a day. Sensors handle the feed and water control mechanism.
What do we do with the manure?
The manure in our farms is never allowed to pile up. It is collected and pumped out of the sheds and in turn is sent to the bio gas plant to utilize it in the form of energy in turn.
Do we have multiple farms?
