Backyard chicken eggs are BETTER than store bought. Here's Why:

Backyard chicken eggs are often considered better than store-bought eggs for a few reasons:

  • Freshness: Backyard chickens lay eggs daily, and eggs that are collected and used immediately are fresher than eggs that have been transported and stored for an extended period of time.


  • Nutritional Value: Backyard chickens are often fed a varied diet that includes greens, insects, and other natural sources of nutrition. This can lead to eggs that are higher in nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.


  • Taste: Many people find that backyard eggs have a better taste and texture than store-bought eggs. This is because backyard chickens are allowed to forage for their food and therefore their eggs have a more natural taste.


  • Animal welfare: Backyard chickens are often kept in humane conditions and are able to move around freely and engage in natural behaviors. In contrast, commercial egg-laying chickens are typically kept in crowded conditions with limited space to move around and engage in natural behaviors.


  • Sustainability: By raising backyard chickens, you are supporting local and sustainable food systems, reducing your carbon footprint, and supporting local farmers.


  • Knowing the source: Having your own chickens allows you to know the source of your eggs and the way the chickens are treated and fed.
