    Stick to eggs from organic grass fed chickens. I am on 3 a day for protein and all the goodies in the yolks. Very happy that people are eating egg white omelettes. It means more yolks for me :)

    Grass fed chickens?? That sounds as bad as grain fed. Chickens are not naturally herbivores.

    Perhaps you mean pastured chickens? Though I've never seen any evidence that eggs from pastured chickens are healthier.

    Ahh, to be able to see those vast herds of wild chickens roaming the range and chewing their cud. Their majestic calls of "bok bok" filling the air. It must have been a wonderful sight before they were butchered for their pelts for use in fashionable gentlemen's hats. Those were the good old days, when man and wild beast lived side by side.

    ::laugh:: Chickens do eat grass, but I don't know if they could live on grass and forage alone. They need a lot of protein and a certain amount of calcium in order to lay eggs.

    Well, now that's not true. Chickens do eat grass (if it's available). In fact, I save grass clippings to feed my chickens as a treat when the ground is covered in snow. They love it.

    But it's not all they will eat if let loose in a field a of grass.

    Don't mess with the pretty picture in my head.

    We should probably note the date and time for posterity.

    I eat eggs from chickens fed flax. To increase omega 3 fat. I might have already said this. Or maybe I said it on a different egg thread. Lots of egg threads going on.
