Would You Accept Very Large Eggs As A Sub For Large Eggs?

[ladybirder]

My grocery order is due to be delivered shortly and I have just done a google check on VERY large Eggs. It seems on the info from 2009, which was all I got, that hens that lay these VL eggs are cruelly treated to be able to produce them. Can anybody give me any more recent info re the cruelty aspect so I can make up my mind whether to keep them or not. At the moment I am going to be short of eggs for a couple of weeks. Thank you.

LB...have you read any articles by people who actually keep chickens? They explain quite well the natural how's and why's of variations in egg sizes.
Here's one I just read...quite interesting.

But they lay eggs every month, and it's often quite a painful period (pun intended) for some of them.

A boiled duck egg is delicious. The only thing is they leave a very strong aftertaste which can linger for quite a while. They are supposed to be the best eggs for making cakes.

Yes I have Pasta thanks. I read lots, from both sides. People who sell eggs aren't going to say anything that might impact badly on their sales. Those who've an axe to grind will grind it. I'm not 100% about either side.
I'm not telling anyone what to buy or not to buy and if it seems that way then I didn't mean it to.
I have made my choice and no amount of hectoring on here will change my mind. To be honest I wish I'd never posted the ruddy (my Dad's word) question.

Yuck JD, they are too strong for me. We had them during the war.

I think you can still get dried egg powder in the shops. Problem solved.

[ladybirder]

Ah but what size eggs is it made from Anne? I used to love powdered eggs many moons ago.

[anneasquith]

Always medium .

[ladybirder]

That'll do me;-))

Don't apologise for posting, LB. I know I've learned a bit...and not too many eggs got thrown ;)

Auntpolly. “Allen, thats me done with you.”

I ask for comments on how you meat-eaters always know you’re right, when my world is so full of doubt, and what I get is rejection.

Perhaps it’s too much animal protein!
