Chicken Farm.. I have enough of the chicken smell

A bit about the chicken farm and and the chickens that produce the eggs, and how the eggs are being prevented from being poked by their moms and how they are stolen from their moms and went into the packaging boxes for sale and how they got onto my hot frying pan, the brother and his younger sister, and becoming my Saturday morning breakfast.





1. Get to know what type of eggs are fresh, rotten, up to standard or simply putrifying.





Ah, I remember, this particular farm achieves the 5 requirements of a free-range healthy chicken barn. 1. Have food and water

2. Have shelter
3. Not stressed

4. Clean environment

5. Free and easy

Beware, the last 2 might not be true. I made it up but logically, coz I forgot about it.




As we first enter, this storage room is cold, it preserves the freshness of the eggs. Some are being washed due to taintings by its mum or relative's shit. Washing reduces the shelf-life from 35 days down to 14 days as the wax coating is being removed.








Brand of the farm eggs.....










Look at the eggs! They are being packed according to their individual eggs. The tongs clamping them actually passes through a weighing machine and weighs their mass. After that, the tongs will drop their height if they are much heavier and will pack them into different sizes boxes.


"Jumbo" = largest.. got another photo that shows "kiddie"




Their table for taking stocks. They pack other brands too.









Catch ya! Egg fallen out of its basket.
