My cousin has been in the egg business in her hometown for more than 40 years, and she knows at a glance whether it is a native egg. When I was a child, I often went to the countryside with her to collect native eggs and learned from her how to judge whether they were native eggs from the appearance, hoping that these 5 tips would help you.
Quietly tell you that 1 chicken only lays 1 egg a day, and summer and winter are too lazy to love eggs. The cost of counterfeiting eggs is very low,, chicken feathers, mud, blood and other 4 characteristics, anyone can imitate, plus most consumers have not raised chickens, have not seen chickens raw eggs. Thus, give those bad chicken sellers a chance to take advantage. In fact, the eggs you buy at the market are fake.
The chicken raised by the farmer will only lay one egg a day, and it must look at the mood when it lays eggs, and when the mood is not good, it will not give birth to you for two or three days. In the heat of summer and the cold of winter, they prefer to sleep in the chicken nest rather than lay eggs for you. Therefore, the eggs of the farmers are not possible to sell at all.
In addition, the number of free-range chickens raised by farmers is very small, and in ordinary rural households, there are generally four or five, or 10 or so, and more than 20 families are rare. This year, my mother has 16 chickens and currently only has 10 eggs a day. With the arrival of summer, slowly they do not like to harvest raw.
Chickens are very dirty animals, as long as you go to the farmhouses in the countryside that have chickens, inside and outside the house, you can see chicken droppings and chicken feathers everywhere, and you can smell the smell from a distance.
Chickens, like to play with water and forage in the mud. I said chickens like to play with water, you are not surprised, this is true. You go to the Zhangxia farmhouse, and the places under the eaves, under the shade of the trees, and with shallow water, are the places that the chickens like. Even if there is nothing in the water, the chickens will rummaging inside in search of food.
Chickens, which do not have a special urethra, are excreted with the stool, so their feces are thin.
Chickens, especially free-range chickens, are especially free-range chickens in farmers' homes, and when they lay eggs, they won't let you see it. Moreover, before they levy, they will prepare in the chicken nest for a long time, and as long as there is a little movement outside, they will stay and not lay eggs.
Chickens, short digestive tract, strong metabolism, fast growth and development, so to feed nutrition, but the farmer simply does not have the energy to carefully raise chickens, has always been allowed to fend for themselves, which leads to the same time hatching chicks, in the same growth cycle, physique, size, mental state are very different, the size of the eggs they produce is not the same.
In summary, the native eggs of farmers have four very obvious characteristics:
This is the most obvious, as long as it is a farmer's free-range chickens, the eggs they produce will most likely carry chicken feces. As mentioned earlier, they are not hygienic, and they may be laying eggs while pulling, and they will in the chicken nest. Therefore, authentic native eggs will definitely stick to some to a greater or lesser extent.
Moreover, we also know that eggs are not suitable for cleaning and preservation, so our eggs are preserved with feces, and people in our village do this.
Chickens, the whole body is hairy, the egg has just been discharged from the body, it is inevitable that it will stick to the chicken feathers, and in the chicken nest, there will also be some chicken feathers, so the eggs of the farmer's family, in addition to chicken droppings, will occasionally carry chicken feathers.
As mentioned earlier, chickens are very dirty poultry, even if it is rainy, they will brave the rain to forage, encounter shallow water, and will go inside to catch a few rounds, so their feet, hair, chicken nests will have mud, raw eggs will be more or less traced.
It's hard for a chicken to lay an egg, and sometimes the first egg of a hen is covered in blood.
The two eggs in my mother's hand, both eggs, were very different in size
Farmers' free-range chickens are naturally grown. The same batch of chicks, the same time period, their physique is different, the size of the eggs produced is also different. Therefore, the eggs of the farmer's family are put together, and the size is uneven, which is very obvious.
From the above five aspects, it is very simple to make foreign eggs look like native eggs. Slime,, chicken feathers can be faked. Moreover, this process does not require any technology, and it can be done if you want to. That's why, we buy eggs in the market, silly and unclear.
Of course, this is not to say that there is no way to distinguish between true and false from the appearance. Combined with my life experience in the countryside over the years, I would like to give you four suggestions
First: the color, the earth egg white is red
My mother has been raising chickens for more than 60 years, and the eggs we eat are all white and red. Some chickens will lay green-shelled eggs, and some eggs will have a darker shell color. However, at first glance, it is all white.
When the chicken sellers in our town buy eggs, they check whether the eggs are good or bad, that is, they hold the eggs in their hands and look at the light to know. The color of the eggs is bright and red. Also, it is obvious that the eggshell is very thin, so thin that it will crush with a single force.
Farmers' chickens are free-range, eating natural foods such as wild grasses and insects during the day, and occasionally giving some grains in the morning and evening. Any egg, held in the hand, it is obvious to feel the delicate texture of the reception.
Farmers raise chickens, because of their different physique, mental state, the size of the eggs will be significantly different, in addition, these chicken eggs, almost all of them are long oval, so when a lot of eggs are put together, from the size of the head, the length of the oval can be seen at a glance, it is not a native egg.
Eggs, which are very ordinary in themselves, may be 2 pieces a piece, cheap when a few cents. Even though everyone likes to eat eggs, it has no industry standards and no production practices.
In addition, people in the city do not raise chickens at all, and their understanding of eggs is "oval", "hard", "easy to break with a hard squeeze", and even some people can't even distinguish eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs. It is even more indistinguishable from native eggs and foreign eggs. This is the main reason.
In the common phenomenon of the market, native eggs are more expensive than foreign eggs. In the market, several big mothers buy eggs together, everyone wants face, people say that the price of native eggs is a little more expensive, nutrition is better, they believe it. This leads to many people being easily deceived and spending high prices to buy defective products.
Just think, even if you don't buy eggs, will you go back to defend your rights? At least for now, I haven't heard of anyone who went to defend their rights and fight counterfeits because they didn't buy eggs. The low cost of local eggs, the risk-free behavior, coupled with the considerable profits, led to many chicken sellers getting carried away and unscrupulously, which led to many people being coaxed into not saying a word.
@Qiannong Dadi Above, I just distinguish between real and fake eggs from the appearance, do you know what other skills there are? Let's talk in the comments section.
