Some interesting facts that you may not know about your eggs

Fry them, poach them, boil or bake them - any way you crack them, eggs are delicious. As much as we rely on them for breakfast, lunch and dinner (and dessert, of course!), there are many interesting facts about eggs that aren’t common knowledge. Enjoy some of these .

1. Harriet, a hen from the United Kingdom, laid the world’s largest egg in 2010. Her astonishing egg measured 9.1 inches in diameter.

2. It takes a hen between 24 and 26 hours to develop an egg. Once she lays an egg, the development of a new egg normally starts within 30 minutes.

3. Chickens don’t produce one egg at a time. Instead, producing hens normally has several eggs in various stages of development.

4. Eggshell colors have nothing to do with flavor or nutritional value. Brown, white and even blue and green egg shells are simply indicative of the breed of hen.

5.The hen’s diet determines the color of the yolk. Some producers feed natural supplements like marigold petals so that their hens lay eggs with brighter yolks.

6. There are several reasons why we eat chicken eggs instead of duck or turkey eggs. Chickens lay more eggs, they need less nesting space and they don’t have the strong mothering instincts of turkeys and ducks, which makes egg collection easier.

7. White eggs are more popular among commercial producers because chickens that lay white eggs tend to be smaller than their brown egg-laying cousins, therefore needing less food to produce the same number of eggs.

8. Eating raw eggs won’t help you build muscle. Only 51% of the proteins in raw eggs are digestible, while 91% of the proteins in cooked eggs are digestible.

Can’t tell if that egg in the refrigerator is raw or hardboiled? Try spinning it! Raw eggs wobble as the liquid inside shifts, but hardboiled eggs spin smoothly.
Because older eggs have larger air cells, they’re much easier to peel than fresh eggs.

9. Read comments section..

Each layer bird can lay approximately 300+ eggs in 60 weeks i.e., about a year with proper management.

If you have 1000 birds, you can get more than 300,000 eggs.

In my area, an egg is R1.50 and with 300,000 eggs you can make R450 000

It's makes business sense now 🐔🥚🤑
