All of them, the colour difference is from different feeds

all of them

>>17684898
The eggshell is a better way to tell the health of a chicken, but 2 and 3 look fresher than 1 because the albumen is tighter.

Yellow obviously

1>3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>2

>>17684898
Number two came from American hormone feed chickens

>>17684902
What makes you think different feeds only affect the color lol?

>>17684924
what makes you think it feed that makes yolk darker, automatically better. they know most people belive this, which is why they go for color rather than healthy

>>17684898
the yellow one is most likely from a factory farm, the orange one might be from a hen that's fed something proper, the darkest egg might also be something fed proper, but it could have been fed feed with high levels of carotenoids

in my experience, the yellow egg looks like cheap walmart eggs, the orange one looks like pastured eggs and the red one looks like an egg raised in japan

you can't really tell just by color, but it's a very good indicator of what the chicken was fed, the darker color can come from pastured chickens who've eaten plenty of bugs, grass and wild seeds which would be the healthiest option, but dark yolks can be faked by feeding them garbage feed mixed with veggies like carrots and bell peppers, while some are fed good feeds with exotic ingredients like saffron, but this is pretty much only a japan thing

>>17684898
Sage

OP here, the chicken that laid egg 1 had cancer and egg 2 came from a chicken with chronic mental health issues. The answer is egg 3.

>>17684965
Lies I’m open

>>17685008
Op*

>>17684898
>egg is a single cell
>it looks like an egg, it's healthy
there's literally nothing else you need be concerned with.

>>17685008
no. I'm OP, and I am open for business if you know what I mean

>>17685016
>trust the soyence

>>17684945
>buy egg from store, light yellow yolk, no taste
>get egg from countryside, dark orange yolk, almost overpowering taste
it's not rocket appliances.

>>17684898
3 > 1 > 2
Even a chicken that lays eggs with bloodspots is probably healthier than a factory farm chicken eating nothing but corn and growth hormone

>>17685043
amerifats only have light yellows in stores, kek

>>17685051
What well established supply lines and economy of scale does to a nigga

>>17685061
go to a higher class grocer and buy vital farms or something similar

OP here, the answer is 3 of course, 2 being the worst.

>>17685051
We have everything. Why do Europoors assume the selection in American grocery stores is all factory farm hormone grade crap? You always have the choice to spend a little more and get a better product. Only poorfags buy the Walmart-grade garbage. Even people in the lower middle class can afford the better shit.

>>17685110
Oh, I already buy my eggs from a neighbor. I'm just lamenting the sacrifices normies have to make to uphold the efficiency economy

>>17685127
>>17685043

I always buy the cheapest battery farmed eggs available.

>>17685117
Real OP here, all 3 are laced with cyanide

3 is the one I would assume is the best, 2 is obviously factory-farmed supermarket stuff, and I don't know enough to know if 1 is good or bad desu

>>17685158
but did I say anything about USians my dear retard? I'm from europe. That being said, there's no way I'm either
>buying expensive "eco" eggs
>trusting any egg you can find in a supermarket over the eggs from my grandma's chickens
lmao

>>17685234
So what makes you an authority on supermarket eggs? You haven't tried them. Game, set, match and checkmate.

>>17684898
1 is either a very well fed chicken or just beta carotene feed. It's also the least fresh (alblumen).
2 is a relatively fresh factory egg
3 is a fresh decent quality feed supermarket egg.

>>17685234
This, my grandparents chicken graze and ate fed raw milk cheese rinds and the eggs can't be beat.

>>17685043
No he's right. The color really doesn't effect the taste. I raise pasture raised poultry and while they give me delicious eggs the yolks vary in color. The countryside eggs from the small producer will taste better because the birds get more vitamin D exposure and access to forage but ultimately the color makes no difference. You can give a cafo bird enough marigold extract or paprika and it will give you plenty vibrant eggs

>>17685272
Sure, but you're still implicitly affirming that natural eggs are orange in color whereas factory-farm eggs are yellow in color under normal circumstances. Same as the practice of dying factory-farmed salmon pink versus wild-caught salmon being naturally pink.

>>17684898
Not enough information. Based on this photo all of them.

>>17685253
of course I tried them lol. I don't trust the "bio eco" ones. middle price ones are ok-ish. the worst eggs I've tried were probably in france (along with meat, cheese, and everything else). Fair enough, I probably got the cheapest ones, but those are the ones I hate the most, light yolk, weird whites, plastic-y taste, unedible, useful only for cooking.

>>17685272
fair yeah I get the point, color is not end all be all but also>>17685301
what anon said

what I find funniest is how fucking easy it is to raise chickens for eggs. it's probably the simplest thing you can do, and the total cost is incredibly low, but of course capitalism had to go and fuck up even this farming staple, like it fucks up everything it touches. this is what I have a problem with. I'd rather not eat eggs at all than eat the plasticky ones. I only ever eat eggs sunny side up anyways.and that requires good eggs. it's hard enough to make them perfect anyway (runny yolk but no slime on top, crunchy whites on the bottom).

>>17685301
Farmed salon are dyed orange, not red like wild caught

>>17685331
Please actually address the content of my post while pretending that your color autism has already been assuaged

>>17684902
Formerly different fucks.

>>17684949
>but dark yolks can be faked by feeding them garbage feed mixed with veggies like carrots and bell peppers
This is exactly why I was hesitant to go with choice 1. If it's too good to be true, it is

>>17684898
all of them

every couple of weeks we have this thread.

egg producers in every country (and even in local regions) carefully control the diet of their chickens in order to get the color of eggs that the locals expect. they do this by adding or limiting the amount of beta carotene in the chicken feed. THAT'S IT THAT'S ALL!

In some countries they expect blood red eggs, in other countries everyone thinks a yellow or orange egg is a sign of icky chemicals and won't eat them so they make egg yolks that are white.

here in the US people expect yellow to orange and that's what they get.

>>>2(Dead)
heh

>>17684902
>>17684904
correct

>>17684907
egg shell thickness just means the chickens were fed more calcium.

>>17684920
wrong none of them were given hormones because no one does that.

>>17685043
bullshit

>>17684898
1 is duck

>>17686301
>>>>2 (Dead)(Dead)
heh

colour of the yolk is just based on age

>>17685318
>useful only for cooking
This nigger eats raw eggs

>>17684898
1, higher supply oxygenated blood. hence the red color. I'm less concerned about which egg would have made a healthier baby and which tastes better.

>>17685345
The point is you are a massive faggot and have no friends,

>>17684902
>>17684898
Feed dictates nutrition, just like in all other organisms. 1 is the healthiest, everyone with a brainstem knows that. end of discussion, not debatable, simple facts.

>>17684898
Color of the yolk doesn't indicate the quality of the egg.

>>17685043
you have never been to the countryside though, you spend your time on the computer instead

>>17686589
Some feed has marigold in it that helps the yoke get darker.
