Great video! I very much love the Pasture raised eggs I can get at Aldi. By the way, a 2ft square area is even less than what you showed, which is 4ft square. A 2ft sq area is a 2 X 1 area, and it looks like you have a 2 X 2 cardboard square there. :) Got your channel added to my carnivore faves.

Great explanation! We bought a couple dozen of the best eggs driving through a small town in Iowa last year. They had those amber yolks, and the shells were pretty pastel colors. I would definitely buy those again if I could!

Yay! Local eggs for the win!

This is really great information. Nice to have the visual comparison as well.

The T-rex is the closest relative to the chicken? Can you imagine having grilled T-rex legs? Awesome!

What about Aldi’s pastured raised eggs?

I was surprised when I saw you plugging Vital Farms because I can get those at my local Walmart 😊

PJ, just found you (from your honest carnivore conversation - bravo!) and love this video, too. Love buying eggs from a local farmer - sooo yum! Can’t stand it when I’m traveling and have to eat grocery store eggs. 🤢

Thanks for reaching out and watching the last two videos! Glad to have you along. And yes, nearly all eggs in a supermarket are inedible for me for the rest of my life. Same with literally ANY egg you order at a restaurant.

hello pj i do not have sheep or a homestead yet my sister and i are looking for the spot to start. we were wondering if you harvest your sheep before you send them to processing or do you send them live. if live would you get a better return if they were harvested and cleaned thanks my sister and i are trying to think of all angles.

@homesteadingwithPJ 10 ай бұрын

Not sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you're asking if I shear the sheep? I raise hair sheep, so their fiber is not wool quality. I take my live animals for processing, with full coats. Hope that answers your question. Best of luck!

Canada has different labels and different definitions and different availabilities. For instance, organic in Canada is a joke. It just means you don't use specific products (that have likely been much more thoroughly tested than other products that do the same thing but haven't undergone nearly as much testing to know exactly what it does). Free range is generally the best I can find in Canada but there are different labels of free range. I like the BCSPCA one because I know exactly what that means but they aren't always available. Whenever possible, I like to buy directly from the farm though because then I can see the chickens for myself and what their conditions are like. I can talk to the farmer and have a good idea of their practices as well as build a relationship with them. Some day, I'd like to have my own chickens but I want to finish school and have this baby first haha maybe after that we will add some chickens to the mix. Thanks for the video! Very interesting seeing the differences between Canada and the US!

Yes, I always like learning the different perspectives between Canadian and US labels. Like you said, usually buying from the farmer is best!

Love Vital Farms eggs!

@MojaveWrangler77 10 ай бұрын

Your local farm store should sell chickens and they're way tastier and healthier from your backyard because you know what they are eating! Less grains more free-range/extra fruits/veggies you already buy

@homesteadingwithPJ 10 ай бұрын

True. Backyard eggs, from chickens eating tons of "scraps" taste better than anything from the store. I'm broken from most store-bought eggs!

I've never heard of an egg snob before, but I have now haha. I mean no disrespect really.

@homesteadingwithPJ 10 ай бұрын

I'll proudly take that label!

Vital farms sources eggs with their own spec. Relabels them and sells them for a fortune. Its better to go straight to the farm and get rid of the corporate middle man that doesn't actually add any value.

@homesteadingwithPJ 10 ай бұрын

Going that direct is always great. But even worse than using a middle man, is selling terrible eggs at a farmer's market for a huge mark-up! I've seen plenty of "egg farmers" who I sell eggs with pale, flat yolks for $8+ a dozen. Vital Farms has helped mid-size producers not have to worry about marketing or distribution. They get to focus on just making a great product, which they do. I'd argue that the mark-up is not as high as you think. Of course, local (and quality) is always better. But if you don't have quality , local eggs, Vital Farms is a good second place choice.

My Chickens were egg*static when they would find a small frog hunkered down for winter under my decaying wood chip pile. The finder would celebrate and had to run away from all the other chickens in order to eat the small frog. Definitely NOT vegetarians. ❤🐔🌻🦖

Yes! Most people think of chickens eating worms and bugs, but they'll eat whatever they can get their beaks on. I've seen my flock destroy a juvenile snake before!
