Do you know what is one of the most popular and most consumed breakfast items in the world?

Many of you might say eggs, and you are right. Eggs are an easy source of getting just the right amount of essential amino acids needed by humans to build tissues, and they are a filling breakfast on a budget. So, I thought about sharing with you my breakfast from the source to the table.

My aunt has been raising three breeds of hens and roosters for over 10 years; the Fayoumi, the Fighter and the Turkin. She uses the incubator to hatch the chicks. They are free-range and she has always been giving them chicken feed which is mostly made up of grains such as corn and barley, in addition to leftover food. Thus, this ensures that all the eggs and the hens themselves are 100% natural and organic. Therefore, they are more nutritious than the commercially raised ones.

Taking care of hens is no easy task, and requires a lot of knowledge, expertise, and patience. But the reward is great, which makes the job worthwhile. The chickens are also slaughtered from time to time for eating.

Despite the color difference between eggs, there is in fact no difference to either of them being healthier than the other. Rather, the color difference is solely caused by the color of the chickens themselves or their diet.

The hens usually lay an egg every day… that’s a lot of eggs!
