The first thing I noticed was the color of the yolk. Even \u201ccage-free eggs\u201d purchased at the store do not have the same color yolk as our girl\u2019s eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Initially, I thought something was wrong with it. It was so yellow that it was nearly orange! But I learned this is normal. In addition to their layer feed, the girls are eating grass, flowers, bugs, and any leftovers we have in the frig. This enhances the color of the yolk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fresh-eggs-3.jpg?resize=354%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"fresh eggs\" class=\"wp-image-1402\" width=\"354\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fresh-eggs-3.jpg?resize=300%2C285&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fresh-eggs-3.jpg?zoom=2&amp;resize=354%2C335&amp;ssl=1 708w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 354px) 100vw, 354px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next was the texture of the egg itself. The shells are stronger and harder to break. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It appeared to have less egg white than the store-bought egg and the yolk was huge. With fresh eggs, the egg white is thicker. As the egg ages, the white thins and becomes runnier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eggs purchased in the store can be 30-45 days old. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How old are store-bought eggs? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a number on the carton that will tell you when the egg is packed, called the <a href=\"https:\/\/landweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov\/browse\/calendar.html\">Julian date.<\/a> Generally, the first number is the plant ID number and should start with a letter. The second number is the date, which correlates to the day of the year (although, these could be reversed). The Julian date is a three-digit number. If the eggs were packed on January 1st, the number would be 001, and if December 31<sup>st<\/sup>, the number would be 365. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/julian-date-2.jpg?resize=195%2C199&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"fresh eggs\" class=\"wp-image-1403\" width=\"195\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/julian-date-2.jpg?w=453&amp;ssl=1 453w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/julian-date-2.jpg?resize=295%2C300&amp;ssl=1 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 195px) 100vw, 195px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this carton, the eggs were packed on August 26 and the best buy date is October 9, which is 44 days. The <a href=\"https:\/\/eggsafety.org\/in-the-store\/\">egg safety center<\/a> states they are still safe to eat 4 or 5 weeks after the sell-by or best by date. No wonder they are runnier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, fresh eggs are richer in taste. The yolks are creamier. Since eating fresh eggs, I\u2019ve found that store-bought eggs are just bland! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I first started eating fresh eggs, I felt a little nauseated. Some friends in my chicken group reported the same thing. I\u2019m not sure if it was all in my head or if it was the richness of the egg itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I won&#8217;t lie, it did freak me out at first that the egg just came out of my chicken! Now, I don\u2019t have a problem breaking open an egg and using one I just gathered.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cooking with Fresh Eggs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I first started cooking with fresh eggs, I was shocked at the differences. One of the things I\u2019ve noticed is the yolk is firmer and doesn\u2019t break or mix as easily. This is great for poached, fried, or any recipe that shows off the egg. Additionally, when scrambling or frying, they cook faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fried-18967_1280.jpg?fit=640%2C480\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1407\" width=\"353\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fried-18967_1280.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fried-18967_1280.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fried-18967_1280.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fried-18967_1280.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/fried-18967_1280.jpg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are making meringue, older eggs whisk easier which creates more volume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the yolks and whites are firmer and the membrane is stronger, fresh eggs are easier to separate. But because of this, they are also harder to peel when boiled. The membrane will start to separate from the shell the longer it sits. The same is true for baking. Week old eggs are easier to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trick to boiling fresh eggs is to actually steam them. I usually use eggs that have been sitting for a week. If I let them sit any longer, the yolk will be off-center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>To Steam Eggs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring the water to a boil. Then place each egg in the pan. I use a slotted spoon. Wait for the water to return to a boil. Then cover and turn off the heat. Steam for 9-15 minutes, depending on how firm you like the yolks. Now, the trick is to place it in an ice bath. I remove it with the slotted spoon and place it in the cold water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.comwp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/egg-bath-1.jpg?resize=219%2C218&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1410\" width=\"219\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/egg-bath-1.jpg?w=428&amp;ssl=1 428w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/egg-bath-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/chikchikchicken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/egg-bath-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> If the eggs are less than a week old, I\u2019ll add more ice after 15 minutes. Some people will crack the eggshell and roll it on the countertop then put it back in the cold water. The water will get in between the egg and membrane making it easier to peel. I tried this with day-old eggs and it helped a little. The membrane was still really strong. \u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There is an air sac or air cell on the large round end of the egg. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The air sacs main purpose is to provide fresh air to the chick when it&#8217;s ready to start breathing on its own. In an unfertilized egg, it traps any bacteria that may seep into the pores. You should store eggs with the pointy end down. This will keep the air sac in place and away from the yolk. If stored with the round side down, the air sac will move up and any trapped bacteria will move with it. This is especially important if you wash your eggs removing the protective bloom. Now, as the egg ages, the air sac gets larger. So, when boiling or steaming eggs, you can also get an idea of the age of the egg from how large the air sac is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are unsure, how old the egg is, you can try the float test. Since the sac increases in size with air as the egg ages, if you place in water, it will float.

It\u2019s rare that I have eggs for longer than two weeks. Although as we get closer to Easter, I\u2019ll make sure they are pointy end down for deviled eggs. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t normally eat fresh eggs, I encourage you to do so. Not only are fresh eggs tastier but there are studies showing that free-range chickens are healthier than caged, therefore the eggs are healthier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a local farmer\u2019s market, stop by and pick some up. Sometimes our local farm store will have them. &nbsp;They may be a few dollars more, but I promise you won\u2019t be disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div
