Has anyone tried to scare you off eating eggs by telling you they are a chicken's abortion? I have heard this, and that they are her "period" or that you are eating a fetus. Learn the truth before you spread lies. |

This article is to clarify a few misconceptions about what eggs are, and what they are not. Some people will tell you that chicken eggs are a chicken's abortions, or they are a chickens "period". Failing either of those attempts they will try to tell you that eggs are chicken fetuses. I have to take the time to tell you that none of these scare tactics are true, and will explain why, and give a bit more information about "the egg". |
First off, lets look at a few eggs. The difference in color of shells pretty much only indicates different breeds of birds that laid them, the color does not indicate any health value of the egg, nor does it indicate if the hen was a "free range" bird or battery bird. Typically battery hens (girls) are white and lay white eggs. Consumers seem to want white eggs, so this is what the industry caters too. Myself, I am happier with free range eggs.
