my eggs are bought in asda but definately don't come from some nasty battery farm.
they look more appetising don't they JJ, when they're a deep yellow? i've no idea why they're that colour though. maybe what they're fed on?
and yes, i have seen the size of chicken poo, phenomenal!
Cos you are not a good farm girl Jayne, a city dweller.......and not used to really fresh eggs (Ours here come from the farm next door, down a 600m track from the road).
Fresh eggs have darker colored yolks and whites than old eggs. The bright color of the egg yolk fades as the egg ages - partly because of extra oxygen getting in the shell. A pale yellow yolk and watery white mean that the egg has been sitting in storage for several weeks, or months.
