Have you ever noticed a soft, cloudy coating on a fresh egg? 🥚✨ That’s called the bloom. It is a natural protective layer the hen adds when the egg is laid!

The bloom helps seal the shell’s tiny pores, keeping moisture in and bacteria out, which helps farm-fresh eggs stay fresher longer right from the nest.

Once eggs are washed, that natural barrier is removed, which is why refrigeration becomes important afterward. Nature has its own way of protecting fresh eggs! 🐔

🥚✨ Why are some yolks darker than others?

It all comes down to diet. Hens that eat green forage, colourful plants, insects, and high-quality feed produce eggs with richer, more vibrant yolks.

Birds with access to pasture or free-range environments naturally get a wider variety of nutrients, which helps create those deep golden colours. While darker yolks may contain more of certain vitamins, the colour mainly reflects what your hens are eating.

Looking for richer yolks? Focus on greens, quality feed, and a varied diet! 🌱🐛🥕
