Home Experiment

(Picture: Left is chicken egg and right is a duck egg)
Do you know how to test the health of the chicken or duck that laid your egg?
Here is your Answer!!

SEE HOW HEALTHY YOUR CHICKEN OR DUCK EGGS ARE:

Things needed for test:
1- Regular white egg (not free range or cage free)
1- Free Range/ Cage Free organic chicken egg
1- Bowl
Instructions:
Take the white (not free range) egg, and crack it against the edge of the bowl.  Take note on how hard the shell was to crack.
Now take the free range (organic) egg and crack it against the edge of the bowl.  Take note how hard the shell was to crack.

You should notice a profound difference between  how hard it was to crack the two shells.  The free range, organic egg, should be harder to crack open because the shell is more dense.  Chickens that are free to roam eat a more natural diet of grass and bugs.  This produces a healthier egg, and a noticeable stronger egg shell.  Duck eggs have an even stronger dense shell than chicken eggs. 

Now this is the best part.......add veggies and make an omelet!!!

Have fun with this!!
