    This dude is just one of my FAVORITE narrators of all time. Informative, but not talking down to you or dumbing himself down.

    From Chicken to Omelette: I walk outside, gather eggs, I walk back inside, I cook the eggs. Nothing beats a handful of toasty warm eggs on a cold morning, and the taste is amazing.
  • @StephenPhayre
    "One of the world's most affordable sources of protein..." Not anymore mate! 😜
  • @lostchild2003
    This type of egg production has been outlawed here in Germany.
  • @LifeFlight101
    I eat chicken and eggs daily but these conditions are brutal. From the beak clipping to their living quarters.
  • @Dragon-Lady
    There is a noticeable difference in the taste of store-bought eggs and home-produced eggs. The latter are so much better! My parents have a neighbor who keeps chickens, and sometimes he gives them his extra eggs. They'll give some to me, and I'm in heaven. So good!
  • @evermore4487
    Yes! The egg is a 'multi- layered' wonder! It really is a perfect gift.
  • Nothing is better than growing your own chickens and producing the eggs. You can tell the difference in the taste of both eggs and chicken
  • I remember not liking yolks as a child but as and adult I like my yolks runny. Sunny side up and poached are my favorite way to have my eggs.
  • I’ve been binge watching these lately. Great for listening during work. Hope they upload more.
  • @trailahead
    I remember when they were affordable. Pretty soon they'll end up on the black market

    This was surprisingly interesting and fun to watch. Not to mention I now feel as if I know a lot more about eggs than I would have ever learned at any other time in life.
  • We raised backyard chickens for many years. We kept 3 to 4 hens at any given time. It was before we had the internet. I learned a lot about chickens from that experience, and from talking to others etc. Similar to the California farmer featured here, we had a "chicken tractor" on a much smaller scale obviously, but the concept was the same. The idea is to move the hens regularly so in addition to their feed, they eat the bugs and weeds, fertilize the ground without making a huge disgusting mess. I had one tiny hen that was so broody that a small scale farmer would bring me various bird eggs at different times for her to sit. That little hen hatched out geese, peacock, pheasants etc. We never trimmed the beaks. Chickens are fascinating birds, they are entertaining and some are even gentle enough to hold and pet. We may start up again one day. The price of eggs right now is very high. I'm a baker/cake decorator and for me, between the cake and swiss meringue buttercream, an average wedding cake can take as many as 40 eggs.
