More Bang for your Bock!
This picture was taken in my backyard. The picture contains backyard chickens and their fresh organic eggs. These eggs are not processed like the eggs at the supermarket; they are fresh and contain more yolk per egg then processed egg. The yolk is healthier and provides more nutrition. When you farm your own eggs you are cutting out the factory and the industrialized farms. This means that the chance of disease in your egg is much less because there are few chickens that could spread the disease whereas in industrialized farms there are thousands. When you pick up eggs from a grocery store they need to be refrigerated, this is because the hens are not pasteurized and there are numerous chemicals in their diet causing an increase chance of salmonella in their reproductive tract. You do not have to refrigerate eggs from organic pasteurized chickens because there is little to no chance of receiving salmonella from an organic chicken. The backyard chicken bill was passed in April of 2006 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and since then there have been 300 permits issued for backyard-raised chickens, but recently estimates have indicated that more than a 1,000 families own chickens in Cedar Rapids. In the long run chicken eggs are always cheaper than processed eggs, sounds like more bang for your bock!
