After the trip there were a few eggs left over. I was cooking breakfast and decided to cook them up. I ended up making some scrambled eggs. I cracked two of ours and the last two of the store ones into the pan. I was shocked at the difference side by side. Our eggs were orange compared to the store's eggs. This is because our chickens truly are cage free and free range on the property. They eat more grass and other greens which increases the beta-carotene in the egg as well as other micro-nutrients.
