    Bringing fresh eggs to Indonesia (Jakarta)

    By the way, I also found this thread where people discussed their allergic reactions to store bought eggs. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/allergic-to-store-eggs.987184/ "Ever heard of someone allergic to store eggs but not farm fresh chicken eggs? I've been with my wife for 7 years...

    Hmm.. I think I’m going to try raising pasture-raised chickens then. But I gotta do some research and experiments first. I have more free time during this pandemic anyway.

    I believe whether it's cage-free or regular egg, nutritionally they're similar in terms of macronutrient and micronutrient. But, it's differ in their toxicity content. Eggs are able to accumulate nasty stuff, such as pesticide, bacteria or toxins, depending on the chicken's diet and...

I'm not sure who regulates/certifies egg labels here in Indonesia, probably the Komite Akreditasi Nasional (KAN)? I wish there is a website where...

    The "cage-free" one is better for the chicken welfare than the battery cage system because the chickens have more space to move around and exhibit more natural behavior. The cage-free system is also cleaner because it is easier to clean and disinfect. As for nutritional value of the eggs, you...

    I also had hard times finding the real pasture-raised eggs. Currently, almost all egg brands in supermarkets in Indonesia come from battery cage system. You're in better luck if you go to the rural areas, but even so there is no guarantee the quality or what kind of feed the chickens eat. There...
