You're in! Great shot. The eggs are brown and not the usual white that I am used to. I had to look it up. It says white feathered hens lay white eggs and brown feathered hens lay brown eggs. All the laying hens in your place must all be brown ones. We have a similar pan like this but it's colored black and is white in the inside. If you win, I will find a way to use it 😄
Best of luck 👍
It's years ago I saw white eggs they are no longer sold with us no idea why (back then they gave some reason for sure it had to do with animal abuse or whatever)
I checked.. apparently it was forbidden for the plebs to buy white eggs because they were associated with the "chicken batteries" (small cages where the chickens were kept in for the eggs and this is forbidden since 2012 or so. Another fact: the industry was allowed to use the white eggs.
In a Belgium article I read that there will be sold more white eggs because it is better for the environment (I won't laugh) and the eggs are cheaper (50%) . How come it feels as if we are fooled by the egg industry?
Ah, you have pan like that as well? The very old ones with us were black or dark blue if I remember it well.
Well, I haven't really seen the actual conditions of the chicken cages, as you call them, here in our place. But I know they're usually stocked with white chicken or layers and fed laying mash. It's a type of chicken feed with a lot of nutrients and calcium fed to chicken who are actively laying eggs. I understand the chicken house is quite large. But I guess if it is stocked fully with little space for the chicken to move around, then makes no difference from small cages, right?
In the old days there weren't a lot of these layers. Most chicken were range chicken and laid eggs through the natural way, that is they get impregnated and lay eggs after a while. The eggs were gathered then and sold.
But I think we will never know if "chicken batteries" have been avoided by prohibiting the buying of white eggs. As I have mentioned, white eggs are produced by white chicken. Brown eggs by brown chicken. So since all your eggs are brown, might not the "batteries" be now involving brown chicken?
There something to your feeling about being fooled by the egg industry 🤔
Anyway, here's the pan I was telling you about. I also notice we have a similar kind of floor tiles 😊
