C H I C K E N. M A T H S // Did you know we have 5 chickens on site? Fun facts about FARM FRESH EGGS (left in our welcome hamper) & CHICKENS🐣

🐔 Eggs are laid with a protective layer called “bloom” that seals the pores on the egg to keep bacteria from entering.

🥚 Unwashed eggs can stay on the counter for several weeks.

🧊 Washed eggs must be refrigerated and last up to two months.

🐓 Store your eggs upside down to help keep the fresh (pointy side down).

🐥 Chickens are omnivores. They love bugs, frogs, snakes, mice and other small creatures along with all kinds of vegetation.

🥔 Chickens shouldn’t have potato skins.

🐣 Farm eggs have 1/3 less cholesterol,1/4 less saturated fat, 2/3 more vitamin A, Two times more omega-3 fatty acids and three times more vitamin E than store bought eggs.

🐤 You can tell if the egg is fertilized by there being a white “bullseye” on the yolk.

🥚 One egg can have as many as 17,000 pores on the shell.

🐔 The breed of the chicken will determine the color of the egg. We have 4 different breeds and colours here!

🍳 The yolks contain vitamin D.

🏃‍♀️ Chickens run faster than humans. I know this!

🐥 They can also remember up too 100 faces.

🧮 Chicken maths is real.
