On: Why Do Americans Refrigerate Their Eggs?

[mod]

I also keep chickens (easter-eggers, too!), but I've got to be honest, I can't taste the difference in a store-bought egg vs my own.

Can definitely see it in the yolk color, no doubt about that.

What is the difference you taste?

Now, if you ever butcher your own, THAT is a huge difference in taste. Night and day, similar to garden-grown sweet corn vs what you get at the market.

What are you feeding them? If you're feeding them commercial feed, I wouldn't expect much difference in taste.

They get commercial feed, but they free-range so they're mostly feeding themselves.
