For some recipes in baking, egg size does matter. I use eggs often in baking and egg sizes can range from small to jumbo. |

Then there is the Ostrich egg, worth about 2 dozen chicken eggs from what I've read, I've also held the shell of one, they are bigger than eggs bought at the store alright. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

In the dialect of Italian that my parents spoke there is a saying that roughly translates as "you laid an egg with two yolks". It is a great compliment. I have cracked quite a few eggs in my day and I've seen double-yolks, but never triple yolks. |

It's called candling, put a light under the eggs but when hatching chicks we wait a little over 2 weeks and candle those to make sure they going to hatch which shows up dark and no light comes through. Most of the time double yolks are smaller in the egg but that triple was very small yolks. |

I remember once my mother made scrambled eggs and my portion had in it a 1/2" long skeleton of a chicken. I couldn't eat it ...... Ah geez. I think I'd vomit. ~Sue~ |

I remember once my mother made scrambled eggs and my portion had in it a 1/2" long skeleton of a chicken. I couldn't eat it ...... My brother had some Balut when he worked in Laos. Nobody told him what it was and thought it was a bad egg and was about to throw it away. Anyway. He said it tasted rather good after the vomiting reflexes started to settle down... |

The numbers on the side of US carton tell the story. Pack date vs. sell-by date. It can be a couple days before they get packed, so even older than label. After a while you start to get a feel for the brands and just how fresh they are. I know what the days number is before I go shop eggs. har... Wait a minute. In the photo, 058 would be February 27. If I'm counting right, that's 43 days before April 11. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Good eye David S. A little math goes a long way. I've been waiting to see if anyone got it. Eggs this old the white runs like water and the yoke is flat. ... |

Yup, nothing like a real old egg. I seen one night on TV they caught a egg company taking old eggs and putting them in new cartons. I can't remember which one it was but it wasn't Egg land. |

Yup, nothing like a real old egg. FYI all legal. They just rewash them and stick a new packed on and use by date. BTW what do you think happens to the rest of the eggs in a box that had only one broken? If you want fresh, buy from a farmer. |

p.s. what is "enriched cage" ?? Pictures from the food industry are not nice. But here it is. Bon appétit... |

Land costs £x.xx a square foot*. Every square foot given to a chicken has to be paid for. Give more square foot per chicken and the price of eggs gets higher. How do poor people buy eggs? *tax man makes sure of that. Don't flame it is a rhetorical question. |

Chicken/Egg pixs at http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=80068&postid=1905365#1905365 I haven't eaten any. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. ~Sue~ |

In some stores people take the broken egg from one carton and create a "broken egg carton." You take a good egg from the broken egg carton to replace the broken egg from the carton you will buy. (I hope this makes sense.) ~Sue~ |
