the other very important thing is that they're suppose to be able to eat bugs like most birds do. this greatly adds to the nutrition of eggs.
Janis B factsss
We had 30 hens that were pastured until the numbers dropped very quickly. The eggs were the best I ever had while they lasted. These hens were raised from chicks and into laying age and they really produced well. Then...they started disappearing, little by little, but oh so fast. Everything wants to eat a chicken. Everything around here got to, except me. We have hawks, owls, oppossums, raccoons, snakes, coyotes, wild pigs, wild dogs, feral cats, bobcats, and black people. All the wild things ate my chickens. I even had pies taken from my window sill. I don't know what kind of animal does that, but it's just their nature.
That comment was too funny man 🤣
@@dustinschroller4884 this guy Dustin lmao
When the package says "cage free" it means they were not put in individual cages, but in a large tin barn with thousands of other chickens. It's a bigger cage. Pasture of farmer is best, like Dr.Berg says.
jleetxgirl That is true. My sister worked at one of these....cage free farms. Yes they are cage free but in a big long barn and multiple barns I believe he had 5 barns. It smelled really bad and chickens looked unhealthy. When they get old we had to come over and help catch them so they could be shipped off.
Thanks for the personal information about the 'egg farms'.
Battery cage is the worst cram many chickens into tiny wire cages. Cage free is like you said inside it smells so bad from all the bird poop concentrated in one place birds have to breath their own sewage. It would be like us living our entire lives in a sewer just enough air to stay alive.
Yes I was just telling my friend about this! It’s crazy how far they will go to gaslight the consumer into thinking they’re making the healthier choice 😬
Chickens eat way more than grass, they love bugs, lizards, mice, all kinds of stuff.
😂🤣
Now that I’ve tried pasture raised I can’t see myself buying any other eggs. For those who say that’s it’s pricier.. see where you can give up some other items.. sodas, cereals, snacks.. and buy better quality eggs instead. Drink water, eat less snacks.. especially if the goal is weight loss then you’ll need less of the other stuff. If you don’t have access then I’d still try to cut out the other stuff and eat more eggs and Whole Foods and fewer times throughout the day. If you have organic then that may be an option too.. I can completely understand that complaint tho with price.. it’s unfortunate that we have to spend so much to get better quality foods but that’s the reality we live in. I can definitely agree with dr berg.. I’m adopting the mindset of not wanting to support future illnesses and thinking more consciously about the foods I eat even if they’re not organic/pasture raised/ grass fed ALL the time.. There’s always something you can tweak if you can’t get this exact item.
I tried pasture raised and I can’t go back to commercial eggs. You’re right about supporting future illness. I’m going to just add it to my budget. It’s expensive, but being sick is even more expensive. Thank you.
I know I’m years late, but great comment. I talk the exact same way you talk about cutting back on junk food and spending more for quality Whole Foods.
Not only they are full of nutrients, they also taste 20x better than the commercially raised caged/cage free egss. Also remember, cage free doesn't mean pasture raised!
I have 12 chickens. They love watermelon on these hot days. Give them electrolytes and some colloidal silver in their water. They drink nothing but our Berkey filtered water.
Commercial chickens are fed growth hormones and anti-biotics. They start laying in approx 2- 3 months. An organic raised chicken will take up to 6 months before they lay their first egg. When you crack an organic egg into a frying pan, it maintains itself (profile) in a tight circle. A store bought chemical egg simply runs to the edges of the pan requiring an egg ring to fry it uniformly.
greenskeeper59 great info! Oh and the yolks should be deep orange too. I just bought a huge watermelon for my girls last night. I'm about to take it out to them. It's been so hot and I've had to keep them in the run for a few days, because we had a fox here a few days ago. It didn't get any of my birds or ducks thank God! So taking some preventive measures and keeping them in for a few days... Plus they were all nervous wrecks afterwards, today they seem much calmer. They were even skittish around me, witch they've never been....
I never thought about giving them colloidal silver. Great idea. I do put brags apple cider vinegar in their water though and give them Kiefer and kombucha.
greenskeeper59 I have 14 hens, 2 Roos, and two hen ducks.
Sophiamia You are awesome and I would dare to say you have some pretty happy chicken..:)
Can you feed them the whole watermelon? My dad has 8 chickens and I have been taking care of them while he heals with a broken leg..I was out of my element but I absolutely love them.
I also never thought about electrolytes in the water!
Ms Junior Bee haha thanks. ❤️ I love your screen name. ❤️
I just started to watch you for few days now. Thank you. I had a blood test done recently and i just took the quiz. my results makes a lot of sense after taking this quiz. I appreciate you for wonderful teaching!
I only buy pasture eggs , not only because of the healthy benefits as you told , but i just think of how the comercial chickens are raised and this is so sad how all these animals are treated. Thank you :)
I buy pasture-raised since it is the most humane choice of purchasing eggs, but I had no idea it had so many health benefits as well!
Absolutely I hope more people buy them so more small farms open
The other day I was about to pick up my usual Costco organic eggs and I could hear your voice in my ear, "Go for the pasture fed! Go get the pastured eggs! It's worth it!" See what you're doing to me, Dr. Berg?!? Influencing my shopping habits, haha! I am GRATEFUL for the knowledge you share! Always.
Jennifer Myers
I can definitely feel you.lolll
Read more. organic doesn't mean anything it means they let them out of the cage 30% of the time .They are still fed gmo corn. Must be pasture fed
Diogo Santos no wonder my eyes have looked duller after eating Costco organic eggs.
Definitely! Got my own chickens :)
thats the way to go. to bad my HOA won't allow chicken coups. Although i may have to get a couple chickens as pets for my lanai. lol
I love this man! I’ve been watching him for the past year. I learn so many things! Sometimes I rewatch because it’s too much information. But I love his information he shares!
Thanks. Hope you are still learning a lot here.
Love eggs, I eat whole pasture raised eggs ( and cruciferous veggies)thanks to Dr.Bergs videos and am still losing weight.
Bravo Dr Eric Berg for explaining this.
Thank you so much, Dr. Berg, I took your quiz and will do the things you advise in the quiz. I am also doing some form of Keto, avoiding wheat.
In UK we can get organic but most people go for free range not realising hens need to be fed organic too.
The fear here is...
I can pay almost double for the better eggs, but how do we know it's not just normal "bad" eggs on packaging on the better eggs and we're all being scammed?
Thanks for all information 👍
Thank you so much lots of information amazingly you educating millions for free ! God bless u
I'm 67 years old (don't laugh, okay go ahead) and just learned how to fry scrambled eggs. I have a fatty liver and am trying to lose weight so instead of driving my wife crazy by making me eggs I learned through RUclips. ANYWAYS I used to use Eggland eggs and they cook alright. but, with you showing how much better Pasture-Raised Eggs taste and the egg is quicker and easier to cook. Thank You Dr. Berg for a healthy and useful information.
Thank you, this is so helpful!! 1 min -
I agree and believe that you
pay the farmer now or pay the pharmacist later
Another Excellent video! I raise my own chickens for this reason. Grass fed organic!
My brother raises a small amount of chickens on his property (pasture) and the quality of the egg when you crack it is definitely noticeable compared to the mass manufactured stuff you by cheap at the store. His eggs are generally larger, there is more yolk, and the egg as a whole appears thicker.
The color of the yolk should be bright orange not yellow
Thank you Dr Berg
Dr. Berg, would you please turn up the volume when you're recording? I can only listen to you when I use ear buds, which is very restrictive. I like to get my Dr Berg fix when I'm ironing and doing the washing up. Thanks!!!
Just went to Wegmans and bought their "Born Free" brand of organic pasture-raised eggs. Can't wait to try them. Thank you for this info!
Thanks

I have another question regarding what the hens are fed. I do have access to organic eggs but they're not as readily available as I would like. I asked one of the free range egg producers (free range in the UK means the hens are allowed to live outside) what exactly they feed their hens. Their reply was as follows:
'Our girls have a specialised nutritious feed which keeps them healthy and makes great tasting eggs. The feed consists of a variety of ingredients which include Wheat, Barley, Soya, Paprika, Marigold, Vitamins and Minerals and was designed specifically for the happy egg co.'
I've asked a follow up question about soy and corn, but what do you think of the above feed?
Thank you so much for your help!
And this is why I subscribe to your channel it's informative an accurate so much bro science happening
Hi there doctor berg. Thank you for all the content you put out I very much appreciate it. would you consider putting out a upload on weight gain causes on longterm keto. 2 years in loving keto but weight is slowly going up again finding it very hard to maintain.
Sarah Mchenry maybe an illness or stress or sleep issues have entered your life? Like even slow thyroid or high cortisol levels ....even stress that raises cortisol or affects getting a deep sleep ( sleep is so very important t when it comes to weight as we lose weight during sleep when the body releases hormones to repair itself ) If your diet is the same and nothing has crept back into it like extra carbs and too much fat etc ..id check out other health issues. It happened to a friend of mine ...she found out her thyroid was low and after a few months of meds her weight started comming back off that she had gained while on keto .... just thought I'd mention it :)
I've started raising my own chickens recently and have followed your lead on eating 4 eggs a day for about a month now. The reason Im commenting is that I have very poor knees having been diagnosed with deterioration of Cartledge one knee has been dislocated three times and i was sure I'd be going in for replacement in due time. I was using ice packs after work which put a lot of stress on my knees. But I only had to do this for a few days then I noticed my knees were feeling much better after a week's time back at work. Having had knee issues since I was a teen I was sure it was only a matter of time before replacement was needed. Now I think I am going to be able to avoid it altogether and the only thing I can attribute the improvement to is my eating multiple eggs almost every day. I am also on the olive oil honey and lemon mix and I do the whole lemon with honey, and blueberries drink mix once or twice a week but the big change came after I began eating the eggs I raised myself. Does this make any sense to you? Thanks for all your information thats been a huge benefit to myself
Thanks

I've got some backyard hens that are fed a bunch of kitchen scraps (I work in a hotel kitchen), and a blend of whole grains which I made a video about. They are three years old and still laying strong. There was a bit of an investment up front (coop, chickens, feed), but for high quality eggs at $4-$6/dz, I'm sure they've paid for themselves. However, maybe where you live commercial eggs are $3/dz, but where I live they are usually around a $1/dz or less. If you are feeding a large family or are on a budget, eggs are one of best things you can buy. No judgement here.
thank you Doctor
I live in a small town. Get my eggs from a local farmers that supplies our grocery store also. His chickens are free range . Nic orang yellow yolks and good hard brown shells. Delicious. I am keto carnivore . Have been for 4 yrs. I eat 3 eggs every day. I'm 73, lost 50 lbs and have kept it off. I feel 30! Walk 2 miles every day !! Love your videos. Oh and I have great bloodwork too !
What about the alfresco vital farms pasture raised eggs? Would you recommend it?
Hi dr. Berg, can you make a video about the physiology and the biological mechanism of why fat necessarily doesn't make you fat? Thanks.
You are the man
At the supermarket right now watching, getting my eggs. Thanks doc
Eggs give me energy going keto is making me want to live again because I'm not in pain
Would you do a video on nail health. In the past 3 weeks my nails are peeling and thin and weak. They have never done this before, especially the peeling. Is this a deficiency? Thank you. I have begun Intermittant fasting, I am grain, dairy and sugar free.
I always like a little formaldehyde with my eggs! Makes them taste better!
You truly notice the difference when you buy free range eggs. I just had some pastured eggs this morning that both that beautiful double golden orange yolks that filled me right up.
Exactly! Less calories more nutrients
Could you please talk about a ketogenic diet as a vegetarian (eggs and dairy) or vegan? Thank you! Could you please talk about what extended fasts and intermittent fasting does to your metabolism?? As far as the eggs go, the most important thing is that the chickens aren't harmed at all and are treated well
sruti chandran I watched videos from Dr.Fung ... on fasting and diabeties obesity and new science that has been studied ... he has many videos but I started with his video called " the calorie deception" It was a seminar and I think there are two parts to it. He explains it all so well and easy to listen to and understand ...he is a specialist in Toronto Canada . He explains how the metabolism isn't affected and we dont lose muscle and it can actually raise metabolism. Hope that helps a little :) It sure helped me. Both Dr Berg and Dr. fung have a way about how they explain things that is so easy to understand.:)
Kittenpurrrs whenLoved thanks! Yeah I've read Jason fung's work and it really does make a lot of sense... But it still seems kind of confusing because I do know that intermittent and alternate fasts raise your metabolism but it still seems like fasting for a really long time can slow down your metabolism even though you don't lose muscle because I've heard of a lot of people who've done extended fasts with success but have lowered their metabolic rate so I just wanted more information 😊 even Jason fung had said earlier that during extended fasts if your metabolism slows down you should probably eat some fat to help with that... I'm still learning about all of this.. there's just so much conflicting information out there
Dr. Berg what about aflatoxins in peanut butter?
Eric. I have a question. Is it ok for me to go from a 14 day water fast to intermitting fasting?
thanks for everything.....i love u. keep it clean and keto💜💜🙌😀
I lift it everyday. Very heavy high intensity sets. These are the best I eat 6 after working out with some natural bacon and obviously some carbs though these eggs are so worth it. Taste and texture is amazing. I only buy vital farms they source local small farms
What is the difference in pasture raised eggs and the one labeled organic pasture raised?
I have to settle for the Costco organic eggs. Budget just doesn't allow for the pasture raised at the moment as we do eat a lot of them but I haven't had any problems with them. Still losing weight and don't have any inflammation issues. When I don't eat eggs my skin and hair dry up big time.
Sexy
somewhere in one of your vids you talked about a certain kind of grass best for chickens .. icant seem to find it anywhere 🙁 can u tell me what grass to give our chickens thanx 🙏
Walmart sells eggs which the sellers say are pasture-raised but also fed ”carefully formulated supplemental feed” or fed an "all-natural, vegetarian diet". That means they're getting corn and/or soy in addition to the grass and/or bugs in the pasture. I wonder which chickens typically prefer -- bugs (that they have to work for) and grass, or readily available "supplemental" feed?
Do you think that organic eggs are ok if you are trying to lower estrogen? It's coming straight from the chicken's ovaries, so I wonder if that's not a good source of protein for the high estrogen body type.
Where can I buy those types of eggs in USA ??
Averages the price of many meat servings...and like Dr Berg said farmers work hard to bring to you...I live in city,,but if I was able to have chickens,,the cage has to be cleaned,I have asthma...and it would still cost money,,so I'm glad for high quality eggs at grocery store
Hlo doctor is it good to eat soy beans for weight gain plz reply
What's the difference between pastor raised eggs vs organic pasture raised eggs?
Dr. Berg,
Paleo vs Keto, which is more sustainable for the long term?
Danna L. The one that works for you.
Hey Dr Berg hop u havein a great day i had a question I cant find organic pasture Raised eggs if i just eat the regular Pasture Raised eggs will i be Ok
I do the Vital Farm Organic Pasture Raised eggs. It’s pricy at almost 10 dollars at Whole Foods but worth it. Just tied Whole Foods pasture raised eggs they are good but, not organic. The yolks are nice and orangey. I hard boil mine as the recommend that way for people with IBS or any colon issues.
6 yrs ago it was $6 for organic pasture raised, now in 2023 under Bidenomics $12!
Is there any proof, testing, or studies on the actual omega 3 vs 6 content of regular eggs vs. organic pasture raised? I haven't been able to find it yet
Ok, I thought so!
We have a local farmer who is selling eggs, what should I look for? What if they are not pasteurize?
I buy hormonefree, free range chicken eggs from Natural Grocers or WINCO. .consume 2 a day. Do I still need extra vitamins do get counselling?
Dr Berg what are your thoughts on the "What the Health " documentary? Seemed outrageous to me but also confusing.
Seemed pretty poorly made and only adds to the confusion as to what to eat. I too would like Dr. Berg's take on this documentary.
vegan propaganda. eating an egg a day is the equivalent of smoking 5 cigarettes or something. gtfoh. these vegan's are literally killing people, playing a dangerous game with people's lives.
how about pasture-raised and you make ot pasturize it.. is it lose the nutrien?
My name is Nathan Forderer I have been watching your videos for about a month I have seen you on RUclips but was never much into keto. Loved the science behind it but I was playing college soccer and living there life style, and never had to worry about weight. Now I have a job where I work noc shift and was wondering how to integrate the keto in with my schedule because I eat at weird times I have lost 20lbs but I have hit a plato. I work 22:30 to 06:30. Can you help construct a schedule
I can’t seem to find “pasture raised” eggs. It’s either “free run” or “free range”. Wondering if either is preferable?
So organic eggs also have high omga 6 and formaldehyde?
Will a pasture raised egghave a less chance of Salmanila , in case of wanting to eat them raw?
Hi Doctor, off the current topic, is donating blood going to increase stress levels in body? I think you once mentioned loss of blood puts body in state of shock.
How about running a 5k after donating blood? I did that today just to experiment how my body feels/reacts. Not great!
I buy these exclusively now as I eat eggs several mornings a week. You can tell a difference. The shell seems a bit thicker and the yolk is a vibrant orange.
That's great. Keep up the good work.
Why aren't all chicken just fed natural grass etc..like it once used to be???
To make the eggs cheaper... More profit...
Anand J it so totally sucks..cows are supposed to graze and eat grass, same as the chicken. Now we have to choose...isn't it cheaper to just feed the cows and chickens grass. ..naturally grown grass
natural would be to allow them to eat bugs and grass.
alma Alvarado Yes it would be better for all of us....but big pharma and the powers that be want us sick so they can practice their treatments on us. :(
alma Alvarado it all comes down to mass production and money ......money money money
Dr. Berg I recently called a farm asking about this pasture raised eggs, because my vision was blurry after eating those eggs. I thought maybe they use soy and corn meal and I was right. I have no thyroid and when I consume soy or corn in any product or eggs that don’t specified I get blurry vision. Any recommendation of a farm to purchased the right eggs please.
How many a day do I need to eat ?????
If you look closely at all the "pasture" or good eggs on the market at the grocery store they are not from chickens eating grasses. One for instance used flax seed to increase the birds Omega 3 level and marketed it as 250 mg. another was happy egg. they feed them a wheat diet with paprika added to make the yolk more yellow. exactly what would happen if they were grazing on grass. misleading, I thought ohh wow the yolk is much more yellow. must be the Omega 3, no it's the paprika. they have a video on RUclips that explains that. I could go on about other eggs. it seems to not be possible to find grass fed chicken eggs from the grocery store, any grocery store I go to at least including places like Trader Joe's.
Kristopher Sookma pastured raised organic eggs will be the best you can buy outside of doing it yourself or finding a farmer who may or may not do what you are are hoping.
Local farmers still use chicken feed even on the pasture raised eggs.
Is pasture raised eggs basically organic ?
i drink 3 raw pasture raised eggs in my protein shake everyday...works wonders man.
Pasture-Raised Eggs - is this the same as Free Range in the UK? Thanks
Free-range” or “free-roaming” on a label implies that the bird had unrestricted access to the outside world. In reality, the term only guarantees that poultry have the opportunity to go outside--not that poultry actually go outside or have meaningful access to outdoor foraging. Further, "free-range" for labeling purposes is only for chickens raised for meat, and not for laying hens. In other words, eggs labeled as "free-range" or "free-roaming" are from laying hens not confined in battery cages, but the laying hens are confined indoors on the floor rather than in open pasture. So, to answer your question, unfortunately no; it isn't the same as pastured, or pasture raised/fed.
Thank you.
How do people fair on pasture raised eggs who have leaky gut? I want to add them to my diet. They seems promising, but I had a bad experience eating eggs recently. Most likely they weren't pasture raised. though.
Can we trust what they say i mean how do we know for sure if its pasture fed or caged
Cage free is not the same as pasture-raised. And organic eggs are less like to have salmonella.
Where I am living I don't have pasture raised egg can I still use the commercial eggs
Google says pasture raised eggs and regular eggs are the same pretty much.
Love the taste and texture of pasture raised eggs. I get mine at the local farmers market and pay $5 a dozen, It's $4.50 if I bring him back the container.
clp304 wow that's expensive 😅
flyhigh !!! No its not.. because your health is priceless....
Ms Junior Bee of course without a doubt, but it's such a strain having to pay such amounts for eggs when there's so many other expenses in life 😓
flyhigh !!! People pay $12 for an alcoholic drink, $5 for a Fast food meal, $5 for Starbucks and that's just one drink! We'll afford what's important to us. Don't get me started on what we pay for make up and clothes to stuff our unhealthy bodies in...OK I'm jumping off my soapbox lol. Buy the eggs you're so worth it.😊
Nikki C I love your answer....and your right we buy what we feel we need and want. Even if you feel it's out if the budget ask God for with Him all things are possible!! :)
"Support the farmer, not your illness". That hit hard.
Pasture raised eggs are so much more expensive than regular eggs (about 5 or 6 times more expensive). Its really hard to afford them.
Cut back on buying unnecessary products like chips or juice to git pastured raised eggs in your budget.
Organic fruits,peanut butter,oats pasture raise eggs,I dont eat meat or dairy
But pasture raised eggs are not pasteurized so isn’t that bad? Should you pasteurize your own eggs?
They also taste so much better. Harder shell and more vibrant yolk than commercial eggs. You and taste and see the difference.
I found pasture raised organic eggs but the yolk is yellow! Is it supposed to be orange to be healthy?? 🙉
The pasture eggs are soo much more yummy.
Can you name a few brand pasture-raised eggs what is the best brand
Vital farms alfresco pasture raised eggs/or Brunty farms pasture raised eggs
Is "eggslands BEST" organic pastured raised CHICKEN eggs?♡
Is that the same for Cage Free?
Is pasture raised eggs the same as cage free eggs?
Support your local farm, fresher eggs are 10X better than old eggs even if not organic, I was eating organic eggs not fresh for years and the white was disgusting, but the local pastured eggs I'm getting now are unbelievble, the white is so fresh and alive, super good, I'm loving it, get local eggs, its a must.
What can one do if they don't live in the US and can't find pasture raised eggs cause the whole country feeds corn to their chicken. Either home chickens or farm chickens????
If I can not get pasture-raised, do I give up on eggs??
I can only get hold of Organic, it does not say pasture raised though. Is that the same.
2011ariesrules most definitely not. just because an egg is organic doesnt make it healthy. most organic chickens are still fed corn and soy and are not free to roam around on pasture, but instead stuck in a cage or barn with massive overcrowding. always stick with pasture raised and do your research. i always look up or contact the producer to find out exactly what the chickens are fed and what their living conditions are.
Thanks, Good advise I will do the same. What a waste of money paying more for Organic!! Time to check out the producer for sure. Trying to eat healthy is a mine field i have come to find. Thanks for the heads up though.
hard to find pasture raised eggs
.....is it okay to consume commercial eggs ????
We dont get pasture raised eggs here in India ..its all commercial
