yelsel20 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Hi Everyone, I am very new to hen keeping, just two months, and am having the time of my life with my girls. Question for you. Can you eat the first laid eggs from hens? An acquaintance has today told me that you should not eat the first eggs laid and I wonder if this is fact or fiction. (Too late for me - already consumed them - yummy!) If true, what is the reasoning behind it? Happy hen keeping. Edna Olive Mabel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It is fiction! You certainly can eat them....as you have found out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 We fried & ate our first egg within a couple of hours of it being laid. It was twins too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 it would be a terrible waste not to eat them wouldn't it ... after all they have gone to so much trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Never heard that one before . Welcome to the forum, by the way, Yelsel20 . I can't imagine why the first egg would be different to the others . Different maybe if it was a softie . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
