You can tell the organic egg farmer is very passionate about his work.
Josh Lee you can tell you gobble his juice
Josh Lee absolutely! It's getting hard to find farmers like that! When I go grocery shopping tonight, I'm gonna look for Organic Meadows!
Thanks for caring! This video doesn't talk about how the males are treated. They are ground up alive because they are a 'waste product'. This is why many people don't consider any eggs to be ethical.
I hope you will consider looking into some plant based egg replacements for scrambling and baking. There are many options. Also , you can also get adequate nutrition and be healthier (lower risk for certain common diseases) on a plant based diet! James Aspey on youtube is a good source for more info.
I started out buying what I thought were ethical eggs and just switched to plant based the year. Thanks again for showing compassion :)
Sara Koponen It is true, most of the males of laying chicken breeds are going straight to "chopping board", but there are some alternatives. In my country, some farmers grow the male of laying chicken breeds to get its meat because the chicks are lot cheaper
I'm switching to organic meadows simply based on his compassion
I am not from Canada but I love this show. I watch it and every episode I have seen is much more than I can get information wise in the USA.
You should watch the Australian equivalent on youTube called the Checkout!
Me to! There is no show like this in the u.s.
Me too, just found them couple days ago. I’ve learned more from them than any here in the US!
@@chrislohphotography tks man, glad to know that.
I love how humble and passionate the organic meadows farmer was... amazing.. he should be very proud
I teared up right along with that egg farmer on hearing the news of the quality he's producing by caring about his work.
Organic Meadow Farmer made me cry. I only buy my eggs from (Organic Meadow) even though it costs more you can see the love from both the chickens and the farmer.
He looks like a farmer, his hands are burned by the cold, the other guys look like suits playing farmer.

For scrambling/omelets: followyourheart.com/buyveganegg/
For baking, here's a chart showing different basic ingredients that work as egg substitutes (although sometimes it's easiest to just Google a vegan recipe): pm1.narvii.com/6235/dbc9af14ff4ee5ece693947c97ff3397d1c06b81_hq.jpg
A different but tasty alternative to eating eggs & toast is mashed avocado on toast, sprinkled with salt.
Also try tofu scramble (Google a recipe)
Where can i find organic meadow eggs, i live in Brampton tryed different stories but didn't find them. Pls if you can send me some info. Thank you
I've hear you can make a mixture of water and ground flax seeds. The flax creates a gelatinous mixture that you can use for binding in baking.
Watching that organic farmer tear up to hear his ethical method made such a difference in nutrition was so touching, it made me mist up a bit
Except it didn't. It literally relates only to the contents of the laying mash--and not even to whether they are "organic". This is super deceptive.
You must be Canadian too
Canadian = Canuck = Crybabies
AKA hypocrite AKA libtarded AKA double standard
It made me tear up!! Dude obviously works hard and cares and the evidence shows that its awesome
Please note, no one has commented regarding their own chickens. I had the privilege as a youngster to eat eggs from the hen house. They are brown, have a much thicker shell and in my case, had much darker yolks. They were smaller but in my opinion had a stronger flavor than store bought eggs. Hope this was informative and useful.
that is a great point. the eggs from natural chicken like the naturally grown without any commercial objective have the best taste and flavor.
The flavor the taste from natural, free growing food is always gong to be better from something that is commercially grown and cultivated. Doesn't matter if its organic or nonorganic. Free range or uncaged or farm grown.
I think the sheer process and objective of growing more instead of growing naturally interferes with the taste.
Now I do not know about nutrition because CDC reported that there is no difference in nutrition but the organic ones cost at least 3-4 times more than conventional ones and for a family as the lady said that's a big deal.
I tasted these smaller more orange yolked eggs their delicious
Marty had me in tears. Its a beautiful thing to see that all his work, effort, and compassion really makes a difference
Truly. I'm willing to forgo spending money on ephemeral things (entertainment, for instance) to help support artisans like him who produce for his community and not for his bank account. It's not always possible, but I try to buy things like hand-made clothing, soap, candles, bowls and dishes, and organic foods. I also try to buy fruits and vegetables that are locally grown and seasonal. Globalism is a Capitalist abomination. Peace, Sister!
@@Hippiekinkster Amen to that, glad to see ppl with a real heart !!
My respect to that farmer crying of nostalgia, there we can see his effort of giving what we humans are suppose to be consuming, quality foods. I personally can see the difference when cooking between organic and conventional, I prefer the organic because of the reach flavor and taste. Definitely worth the money. Oda.

Odalis Rodriguez Yes I absolutely agree♥♥
Many organic farms run the same exact operation that the factory farms do. The only difference is that they do use inorganic inputs.
I literally taste no difference between organic and regular....but my wallet sure feels it.
Chikiru Uchiha It's in the nutritional composition not the taste.but ,many organics still feed them corn which impacts the nutrients.
"enriched colony" those birds where so stressed they where almost bald. that is literal cruelty.
i know right! he soundrd delusional!
Looked like some of them were molting; you can tell by the new pin feathers.
I know right I have chickens an ds I would NEVER do that they like to run in my backyard
They look AWFUL! They're combs are pale and they have barely any feathers! I've had chickens and they never looked like that! I can't believe he even let cameras in there...He made his company look horrific!
it's normal for laying eggs, it's called molting. You should think and research for what you talk, it makes you sound like a dumbass.
Everyone should support Organic Meadows
Aww Marty, he's tearing up. My heart goes to him and all his efforts!
@. r/woooosh
I did notice the meadow Chicken's were calm they didn't seem hyper or distress. I hope I find those eggs near my city
Stevenevo Sando and the hens still have their feathers in organic meadow’s egg
Did you notice the Owner or PR Rep suggested going to and showing "barn two?" They onpy show what they wanted. I bet the otherbarns had chickens/hens packed 20 to a cage.
Look at the feathering on the birds in the factory vs. the birds in the backyard. Sad!
Yeah that was what i saw first too, they look sick and actually unclean.
But thats what you get in a cage i guess.
I only buy free roam, where the hens have a pen thats open to the outside or a heated inside, i dont eat that many eggs to not be affording this more ethical life.
Those caged birds were very raggedy looking....
It's clear to see they aren't happy, that conventional guys in denial
The "farmer" kept talking about good feathering on his birds, but I noticed they had a lot of missing and broken pin feathers. I thought maybe it was moulting season, but the backyard and pasture birds weren't moulting, so the caged birds just looked unhealthy. I raise chickens in a huge backyard pen and I know what healthy birds look like.
I raised chickens growing up, and those back yard ones are mostly designer birds. They lay eggs, but they were bread to look pretty. The others were bread with egg output and egg size in mind, feathers aren't important. They aren't show chickens and they aren't pets to look pretty. The average back yard chicken is going to lay 150-200 eggs a year. A production chicken will lay 300-400 eggs in a year. So you're on average getting 2x the production off of each chicken, and hold far more of them in cages.
4:48 showing young birds. Here they have no feathers, they plucked them off each other due to stress, they cut their beaks to stop pecking each other. Don’t tell me otherwise I’ve worked in egg farms and it’s truly heartbreaking and sad !.
The EU report they cited did mention signs of cannibalistic behavior as one of the big factors in that cage ban
Having been an animal farmer in my youth, you should never keep any animal in a small caged area. That's not natural.
Like a life imprisonment but they are sinless. 🥺 I always wonder why God has handed in the management rights to humans who are the extremely self ego & ridiculous species. ✝️
the chickens in those cages from the tour with that guy looked really unhealthy. the feathers and raw skin looked really bad
Flawed 'blind' taste test, when you react to the correct guess or allow testers to influence each other's input on taste/quality. Maybe have testers fill out a ballet before group discussion on each sample, you'd be surprised how easy it is to influence someone senses and mind by suggestion, " oh I'm getting a rich taste of grass" then suddenly everone else only tastes the grass.
thehALomolov2 yeah, I agree. It's called crowding behavior.
I agree. Maybe they think that way is more interesting to watch.
The power of suggestion.
I agree, but I have to point out. It's a ballot, not a ballet.
I don’t know about anyone else but I don’t want to taste grass.
Organic MEADOW - THANK YOU!
WE NEED MORE PEOPLE LIKE YOU! YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO DESERVES OUR FULL RESPECT.
More reasons to love CBC Market Place. Keep up the good works guys. We appreciate you🙏🏽🙏🏽
Also maybe prepare the eggs in a unbiased way that doesn't rely on the cook time or how much salt, butter was used and how well it was mixed. Try simple boiled egg taste test, that way it's only the egg that they taste.
Yes I was thinking the same
Just drink them raw.
Those enriched chickens weren't looking too good...
+InfinImagination because they eat junk food mix with drug, my mom hen look at better that those hen, big butt chicken with strong leg, she have corn made from a mill
Omg yes, i thought that too, they wern't very well feathered
Basically, the "enriched" chickens are just in a bigger cage jammed in with the same amount of chickens just over a bigger space. Because there are more, they are going to peck more as they are still jammed in together. Ever heard of "the pecking order"? This is what chicken social interaction is about. If they are still jammed in together they are going to attack eachother. When allowed to free range they have much more space to be away from the meaner chooks. Just sayin.
only one enriched there was the snake oil salesman chicken farmer
That's what I thought. Pretty shabby looking chickens for what the farmer says is the "gold standard"
Now Marty can put that info on his packaging and get more customers, as he should. He deserves it.
16:55 oh man, really nice to see his reaction.. after so much hard work. almost tears me up too
Organic Meadow farmer is a true farmer that cares! That kiņd of farmer is becoming extinct! His tears made my tears leak out!
The fact that his farm is still on run means that *somebody* out there buy his eggs.
king james488 organic eggs aren’t that expensive. You can usually get them on sale for $5-6 a dozen. At Costco you can get a 24 pack of organic eggs for like $7.
Are they still selling eggs? I haven't been able to find their eggs at the store. No metro,no longos,no whole foods...Where can I find Organic meadows eggs?
@@CalledUntoHoliness There is no such thing as Organic meadow eggs. It's Yorkshire farms that sells eggs. Organic meadow only sells organic milk and milk products. You may check their website. They have no eggs.
@@CalledUntoHoliness See my other replies. It's Yorkshire Valley Farm now that sells eggs, poultry and turkeys (whole, parts, fresh or frozen). Organic meadow only sells milk and milk products. The video must be old.
Kinda sad... we spend a grand on our phone alone. Plus who knows how much on the follow up bills and other daily cunsuptions of entertainment. But three bucks more to support true farming? Naaaaaaa, lets count every last dime.
Given you a round of applause for that comment, its so true!!
KarnageDon sad in deed but true!!!
Withbillions of people in the planet, most of us poor, there’s simply no way everyone will eat organic. I love coconut water, but I unfortunately don’t own a farm to have coconut palm trees, nor the cash to only drink coconut water. Its laudable that some people can and do choose more ethical farms, but not viable to push everyone into the same standards. We still need antibiotics and cages to feed everyone, unfortunately.
Lol! Society has been brainwashed since inception that the cheap low quality food is perfectly healthy. You are trying to change a lifetime of information in a relatively short period of time. As we move on as a society the healthy options will become increasingly more popular.
Hey don't lump all of us in. Some of us are just cheap across the board lol. I buy last gen Android phones for
I knew he was gonna cry. Cuz his work actually meant something. And he was justified to treat his chicken so well. Coming out ontop VS the big guys. Hell Yeah
"How far does your morality extend towards your economic reality?", that's the smartest thing ive heard in a long time.
People vote with their spending habits. It's really that simple.
@@nunyabuisness7552 amen to that!! finally someone that comprehend the principle
how does the saying go? " Pay the grocer now, or pay the physician(/pharmacist) later
Carly Dubbya they live in canada tho
Is the healthcare really free if you have to use it more? Suppose more people use it more, doesn't that mean costs go up? You indirectly pay through your taxes. TANSTAAFL!
10 times at $30 when healthy or 2 times at $2,500 when sick over 24 months. More visits do not mean more cost.
Well said!
Precisely
Hats off to Organic Meadow!
Really though, it was good to know. I for one do not eat eggs that's not organic because I really love eggs and I love eating healthy.
OMG! I don't know why this made me so sad watching the farmer cry, maybe because he reminded me of my grandfather. I would love to help him in any way I possible can, I know from experience how hard and costly this job is. Congratulations for such a great job and thank you for caring about what we eat.
Testing every day items makes me happy. I'm digging this content
The caged birds look almost albino...
I have chickens. They are my pets, but they make too many eggs. So, I give them to friends, family, and a people that work at places I go. They love them so why not share. Oh, and never believe chickens aren't smart. I girl Viola can open the laundry room door. Felisha pecks on the door when she hears my grandbabies come in. They love to be held and loved on just like any pet. However, they do have to stay outside (I am always chasing Vi back outside) and they are just as clean as any other pet. I hate to hear people think of them as 'just food''.
The guy saying he doesn't care about the treatment of the chickens....he's the problem with the human race.
I've routinely gone and purchased these same birds after they're sold off..and they've quite happily lived on our "free range" hobby farm..until the neighbour's dog decided he wanted to try the warm buffet! Each hen had her own name, and knew as well as I where to go to lay her eggs, and loved exactly what she could find to eat outside of the chicken feeder! Me, I didn't always like the thought of what she was eating, and always made sure they were locked up every night to "try" to keep them safe. But it was always a comfortable mix of free range and a coop. The only time we used cages was a crate to bring them home(mandated by law.)
Marketplace is doing a great job..i 'm learning a lot from it..
keep it up 👍
best egg is one that you get from your pet chicken. it takes a bit of effort but it's worth it in the end.
I'm raising my own now. Don't much care if they taste better or worse. They are happy and cute.
:)montclairgirl
+ They are free
do quail count? lol i get quail eggs
id love to have my own chickens, but i live in an apartment in the city.. free-range is the next best thing.
It was important to the farmer with all his chickens running around that someone recognized his hard work for the best chicken eggs. I know how he feels.
Not from Canada and I love how they have these informative shows❤️Thank You.
My great grand parents, grandparents, parents, and now me and my husband raise our own chickens and let them free range over 90% of the time instead of feeding them the industry's corn that has been tampered with so much. Can EASILY tell the difference between store-bought and our home-raised eggs.... the yolks have SO MUCH more of a richer color and taste!
My backyard chickies have deep orange yolks...
It depends on what they eat and what kind of chickens. One should not judge the egg based on yolk color
@@JBsoloman5000 that's the point. Eggs fed corn will not have as rich looking eggs
Place down the road from me has Ancona hens in cages. The eggs they lay have yolks so yellow that they look almost red. Too bad most of us, even those that raise hens, don't really get the chance to have a of lot truly fair side-by-side comparisons.
@@JBsoloman5000 Dumbest remark yet! Unless you're a troll paid by the industry, then it's very clever.
Wow, so the organic egg is not just "branding" there actually is substance behind it. Looks like I'll be saving up
+its2realj Organic is one thing, grass fed vs. grain fed is another. Everything else equal, grass fed is the best nutrition wise.
Are for real?
I raised my own chickens for years. On eggs, you can really taste the difference in high quality eggs.
The women that said she cant compromise on her childs after school activities needs a reality check. What a irresponsible parent.
My family often buy organic eggs from a friend that lives nearby. A little more expensive (close to the same price now) but they are absolutely more flavorful. The yokes are darker, deeper orange. The size and color of the shells often vary but the taste is consistent.
I'm surprised and disappointed that the subject of antibiotics and feed wasn't addressed. The information available is conflicting, and in my opinion the health consequences are far more important than the taste of any egg.
Jane Douglas Chicken farmers in Canada voluntarily stopped using antibiotics a few years ago. Wasn't discussed because it's not relevant
Interesting... thank you for that information. If I can verify it that means I can quit paying $6 for a dozen organic eggs.
I think it is relevant because many of us do not know if they are or not. I dont work in the industry so i wouldn't know anything like that was ended. Im trying to find out what they're given and fed because many cant have corn or soy in any form and im seeing that many are fed corn and soy feed.
Just buy expensive egg and eat less of them.
Exactly my thoughts.They might be 2x the price of those conventional, but when they have 3x more vitamins and omega 3, I say it's absolutely worth it.
Exactly, but better do not eat eggs at all, a single egg yolk exceeds RDA for cholesterol intake.
Some people cant afford that.
+Dz Net ...Yeah, you need to read up on some nutrition and basic scientific analysis. Correlation does not imply causation. Nor does anecdotal evidence equal fact.
Faranox 4
To be honest, I wasn't that well informed on the conditions in eggs farms, but just watching those factory-style farms, and the way the farmer was talking about his chicken only in terms of economic value, made ma want to buy organic eggs from now on, even if it's more expensive.
Great job as always, real journalism. Bravo
From my experience, the quality of the eggs show best when boiled. The texture, smell, and taste varies a lot. Scrambling it up in butter and milk would disrupt the natural taste I feel...
The organic eggs may cost more but getting the vitamins you should be getting from your food makes the difference. If you buy conventional eggs and have to buy supplements for vitamins A, D and E are you truly saving money?
No. And then u can't even properly digest most of those vitamins in supplement form 😂
Great point, sir!
Underrated comment here
@RustyRC83 Rc ... Conventional eggs plus vitamin supplement will still be way cheaper, especially if one eats a lot of eggs. Eggs alone aren’t filling. Monthly supply of vitamins can be had at affordable prices everywhere. Vitamin A, D, E can be had though other food choices.
On the flip side....if a food is not nutritionally dense, then what are we feeding ourselved? An excess of what we do not need? May as well live on vitamin supplements...
Aaaaawwwwww Marty...so sweet to see him do passionate about his eggs... he also looks like he is very kind to his chickens. His chickens looked happy and healthy.
Every animal should get a chance to splay out under the sun, once you see them do that once and just how happy they're it really changes your perspective. My hens will break the door open if I'm too late in the morning to let themselves out. I'm still a small op of like 50 birds, but it is a lot of work everyday it really improved my health since even on a lazy day i put on around 6000 steps.
I have no direct way to measure the nutrition of the eggs from our flock but the difference in flavour is noticeable ,depending on the season and diet the egg flavour can be quite strong An egg can stand on its own for taste with nothing added. I might add that I really prefer the taste of our free range duck eggs and by free range I mean no fences.
"If the chicken isn't happy, it won't lay eggs! It's as simple as that." Uhh...chickens in battery cages lay tons of eggs but that doesn't mean that they are happy. Was that guy not listening to anything they were just saying?!
It's an excuse to justify his actions.
Chickens will lay eggs, until Winter sets in, and backyard chickens production will drop.
That's it. Facts lol
They won't lay eggs if they are severely stressed or feel threatened. But it is true they don't need to thrive to lay, that minimum standard basically only requires they don't have wolves loose in the coop. Factory farms are dark, warm, and threat free, and that's enough to satisfy the laying instinct regardless of their overall wellbeing
If the chickens aren't happy, their eggs are toxic.
i can see that he loves what he is doing and he shows love to those little beings.
What are the figurines hanging on Catherine's wall at 13:06?
I have 5 chickens the bugs and food they eat give the egg a thick shell but OMG ARE THEY FLUFFY CREAMY GOOD NESS I love my chicks
Garlic Bread less calcium will help with the shells 💘
The caged chickens look like shiet. I try to buy my eggs from people who have pet chickens and sell the eggs on Craigslist lol.
Battery cages are horrible .Its always about profits,profits profits...shame!
Nonsense. You're just trying to blame the smallest number of people possible for something you don't like. Reality is probably organic is the most profitable. Only problem is hardly anybody is willing to pay for it.
So the actual problem is the exact opposite of what you're bitching about. People want cheap crap, they get cheap crap. But I assume you want somebody to make 8 dollar eggs and sell them for 4 while taking a loss so you can have you organic eggs at no extra cost.
That's genius, thanks for the idea
I have been buying organic eggs for years, & will continue to do so. I feel they taste better & are healthier, & also the chickens are treated more ethically.
At the grocery store, I mostly look for the freshest as best I can gauge by best before dates and such. When we can we buy from known farms that have free run eggs - especially in the summer. The difference is amazing. We wander in our motorhome several months a year and have our favorite egg stops - especially in ON, NB and NS.
Thanks for the info, I'm definitely switching to organic meadows, because I want the Healthiest egg possible♥
Cadbury Cream Eggs are the best.
inv ert sugar , egg whites and yellow dye yummy inside moochoclate
Oh yeah!!
lol
Best comment! 🤣
I was under the impression that the Cadbury eggs came from Easter bunnies. :-O
16:30 GOOD FOR YOU MARTY!!!
Wow I would love to be acknowledged for my work one day like that. Blessings to you my friend.
and update to this is much needed
it's sad to know that we will only treat animals decently if they can bring us something profitable
Yeah sounds about right.
United Euro Travel otherwise would we take the time to protect them and keep them around, how many chickens do you think there would be if we never saw a need to domesticate them and instead exterminated them as pests for eating our crops.
Well yeah, thats how we survive. If I put work into something I want a return on my effort.
Thats Capitalism... The playground created for the Psychopathic mindset... Exploit and consume.
A enriched environment for Sociopaths and psychopaths to suceed... Empathy is epi-genetically removed for human beings in this system.
United Euro Travel well ya, why wouldn't we. We basically can control a lot of our planet, so if something is useless to us there is no reason to keep it or change it fit our needs. Dogs have been bread to look cute because we like cute things yet they have freaky genetic disorders because of us. I'm just looking at this from a practical stance
Only the compassionate farmers will succeed. People's brain is growing. Society is tired of seeing animal/bird abuse.
hahahhahaah keep telling yourself that
Lav Rs compassionate is not compatible with owning animals as slaves.just leave the animals alone, no part of them grows/develops for our sake and benefit.
Lav RS, "Only compassionate farmers will succeed. People's brain is growing" Uhmmmm well no and yes, unfortunately the in-compassionate farmers and other businesses are succeeding at consistently-growing rates of corruption and it's because they have allowed their heads to get too big
Budget is always a high priority but it won't make me happy to know a chicken suffers everyday so I can save a few cents per egg.
What were the hormone levels within the eggs was any of that tested.
I will buy Organic Meadow eggs. Are they found at Loblaws?
Aww hard work always pays off.
farmer's will produce what the customer what... cheap food. If there is a demand for organic eggs, they will definitely produce more organic eggs
Funny thing is roam free and biological eggs are dirt cheap in the eu. It can't be sold as a premium product anymore so they became just as cheap as battery eggs used to be.
awww.. The good old times, when every farm was organic.
I cut corners elsewhere, but not on food.. I barely consume alcohol, don't have manicure/pedicure and don't buy expensive clothes etc. I buy very high quality food, mostly organic and often directly from the farm. I rarely get sick, never had flu etc .. I'm 62, not on any meds (drugs) and most people guess my age as a lot younger. 😊
Christine Paolini - 👍🏻! You’ll be more and more thankful as life wears on. Most people don’t get it - food IS medicine. The best preventive health measure is good nutrition.
In today’s world of processed foods, factory farming, and deleterious chemical contamination, nutritional education is ongoing. Go for it!
Laws just need to be changed so that we're not allowed to torture non-human animals. Just as we're not allowed to torture other humans.
I raise my own hens, free range and happy, my eggs are the best. Dessert and breakfast and dinner never tasted so good, quality really does matter folks
Thanks for ur efforts...
people are so cheap when it comes to what they put inside of them but yet spend $$$30 on a simple dress /pants
Clothes made by battery humans?
Thanks for caring! This video doesn't talk about how the males are treated. They are ground up alive because they are a 'waste product'. This is why many people don't consider any eggs to be ethical.
I hope you will consider looking into some plant based egg replacements for scrambling and baking. There are many options. Also , you can also get adequate nutrition and be healthier (lower risk for certain common diseases) on a plant based diet! James Aspey on youtube is a good source for more info.
I started out buying what I thought were ethical eggs and just switched to plant based the year. Thanks again for showing compassion :)
Sara Koponen dude this is the second time I've seen you comment the same thing
Nami mh yeah its disgusting but im the opposite. #vegan
Buddy I eat the food once, but the pants can last years.
Also I can't afford to be chosey. Plus I get most of my clothes at clothing swaps and thrift stores nowadays anyway.
We appreciate it, Marty. I will spend a little more for happy hens living a happy life.
Lol they’d be happier if you ate vegan you hypocrite..
@@supercooled dumbass if the eggs aren't fertilized it's basically cruelty free ( if it comes from a good farm of course ) cause it can't become a baby chicken
JUST A SISTER look at you trying to justify your carnal urges. That’s ok I’m a carnivore as well hit at least I don’t make up fairy tales just so I can sleep at night with a clear conscience. You’re even worst than a hypocrite. .
@@supercooled it's not a fairy tail, an egg can't hatch if it hadn't been fertilized its literally impossible. It's like saying a virgin can become pregnant. Have you learned your biology? Edit: So if you buy eggs from a good farm and they had only girls there the eggs can not be fertililized, but they still lay eggs ( it's their form of having a period, you can still have periods even if you're not pregnant ) so not eating them would be a big waste of food and hard work for what? The egg would just rot away..
The free range chickens look so much healthier!
I've always had digestive disorder when buying eggs from the grocery store big brands so now I purchase directly from the farmer free run and don't have that problem as a result. Tastier, fluffier, larger, and I believe better for my health
Same! My body can tell the difference right away if I am eating a stressed chicken's egg. For a huge portion of my life I avoided eating eggs altogether because I thought I was allergic to them. I would get violent stomach cramping about 20-30 min after eating eggs anytime I'd eat anywhere so I just stopped eating them for years. Fast forward to a couple years ago I decided to do my own test to see if my body could tell and I bought some cage-free and free range eggs to try. I ate them and digested them with no problem so I thought I was cured of my egg allergy and could eat them again. Boy was I wrong! I started eating them again whenever we would go out for breakfast and every time...stomach issues. The only time I can eat eggs with no problems is if they are cage-free or pasture raised. My body can definitely tell and I thank farmers for having the option of raising chicken in better conditions producing eggs with more nutrition that are obviously easier to break down in my body.
The best eggs are the ones that my chickens lay
Same here!!!! Except that I don't have chickens....
Anthony Owens but do you keep it in a box?
lol
Can't wait to have a home of my own so I can have my very own chickens!
EliteFurret we do right now but we have a bit of land with chest high grass were gonna cut it build a pen
the chickens in the conventional battery look a lot healthier than those in the "enriched" environment tho...
Now I would just go out to the store and buy the cheapest eggs... but that guy at 16:58 man, those tears are real... respect for that guy!
It's just because you can't see the bums of the ones in the battery because they're so packed.
I saw some of them, and they looked better imo...
I am happy that some chickens get to see sunlight and a walk in the grass all day.
Please put information into the description box
Damn man that guy was proud of his business!
I am a single parent and know how hard it is to get together money for groceries. However, I have done my research as "free range" and "organic" doesn't necessarily mean that. I have always made a conscious effort to purchase free range eggs no matter the cost as I know that this is best for my kids as well as the chickens. I miss my chickens in the back yard but I have dogs that "love" chicken. I normally buy the brand Sunny Queen they have a proper free range set up where there are 1500 chickens per hectare of land and they have access to a barn for shelter. These guys even have a camera set up so you can actually see how the chickens are living.
@b4iwascrzy in America adding "organic" to a product means very little.... maybe in other countries there is stricter guidelines
@@resresres1 In America "Certified Organic" does mean something. Just the statement "Organic " not so much, but better than not. Either way more expensive to produce.
Marty is my man with the happy hen eggs I love
The key sign of any bird's mood are their feathers, bald spots and soiled feathers mean an unhappy stressed bird. Research your brands, im planning to go free ranged.
This is the best video ever uploaded to youtube
"it makes me think of sunshine"
im out
Is that the same machine from the how is made series?
Excellent info and comparisons. I will continue to raise my own eggs on pasture and feed non GMO feed. The bug season starts here in April and goes on through October in Alabama. My girls produce the best eggs anywhere and don't eat eggs if I don't have my own. But for folks who are all about cost, one can see the difference in the person, overweight and older beyond their years.
I used to buy eggs from the shop until I went by an egg farm. Since then I have been buying eggs directly from a farm where the hens walk free and fed on grains and leftover food.
These cost twice as much but worth it when I know that the hens live a good and natural life.
Yes I live in Florida and just got awoken to do the same! I'm in the FL but I need to research a farm near me because I want everything farm raised
I wonder if Dan has really been able to convince himself that those hens are happy? Dan, proportionally, would you be happy in a room that big, 24 hours a day, for the rest of your laying days?
Awww at 17 mins in when the free range chicken farmer teared up was touching. He's adorable!!! 👍👍👏👏👏
@Future Universe X lol hahaha I live in big bad Chicago bahaha. But shout out to Canada! 🥳🇨🇦🍁🍁🍁🍁
I am actually curious with the nutrients. When cooked, do the nutrients retain? and by how much?
It depends on the amount of time you will cooked them. Apparently it is good to well cook the white but the yolk, which has the biggest nutritional content, must be just slightly cooked.
Love owner of Organic Meadow! Someone who cares about the comfort of animals. I would pay more if I could find them in the markets.
The thing about factory farns and the mass production of food is ITS NOT going to work for much longer according to the UN. At some point we as a world need to give up factory farms for the whycommunity partnership within each community as thats the only way to sustain so many people in a growing population!
Huh? The UN is doing a major disservice to the entire underdeveloped world, then. So many people are starving worldwide because of the high cost of many foods. Factory style farming drops prices dramatically to the point where food becomes easier for poorer people to afford.
Hi folks I buy Amish 2.00 a doz.They are all free range!
Thanks for the rundown on eggs. I am 63, I care for my Mother who is 91. I have no money other than RUclips income. Which was curtailed due to less than 1000 subscribers. Keeping food on the table is a matter of garage saling items I had collected over a lifetime. I think little of how a product is produced. I must adhere to the price factor and hope for the best. My worst fear is I still have another 40 years on the clock.
I really like that farmer that his chickens can go outside! For myself I definitely will buy those eggs. 😊
Seeing that farmers reaction touched my heart, because most are not grateful for that type of labor/ husbandry anymore
It's all good Marty! You deserve it brother
Isn’t the chef the same guy as the testing got in the what’s in your OJ thingy?
