which ones are healthier for you, barn eggs or fresh range eggs?

Answer 1

both are equivalent in nutrition

Answer 2

according to the book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver, range eggs are if they are fed on a grassy range. the variety of foods they find in grass increases their nutrient content over feed-fed chickens. some free range birds, however, scrape by on the name through loopholes (like the barn door is left open for a certain number of hours a day, even if the chickens never walk through it), so the only way to be sure you're getting these grass-fed chicken eggs would be to talk to your local farmer at a farmer's market or the farm.

Answer 3

Theoretically they should contain the same nutrition. It's more of an ethical decision regarding the conditions the chicken lives in. I would never knowingly eat a battery hen egg, but of course they are used in processed food.

Answer 4

The differences are ethical/philosphical. Do you want to eat an egg from a chicken held in shackles or from a chicken that gets to peck around a yard, eating what they want, and enjoying fresh air and sunshine?

I also agree with the second respondant that eggs are bad for you anyway.

Answer 5

both the same homegrown eggs are better if they are your chickens--might as well eat what they produce-only drawback with homegrown is if there is a rooster running around -nothing grosser then a egg that's developing into embryo and you crack it open--kinda ruins the appetite

Answer 6

Eggs are eggs... all the same.
Flavors may be different depending upon what the hens eat.

Answer 7

Not much difference in the way they're raised or nutrition wise! And, they are equally bad for you, due to their cholesterol content.
