HOW CAN WE HELP
Welcome to our FAQ page! Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions about our eggs, our hens, farming practices, freshness, and more. We’re here to help with any information you may need.
It's generally not recommended to eat raw eggs due to the risk of food poisoning, Salmonella contamination and other health issues.
Such risk is highest with raw and lightly cooked eggs. It's best not to serve raw, or lightly cooked dishes made with eggs.
Eating raw eggs can also make you feel gross because it's kind of slimy
A green ring around the yolk of a hard-boiled egg is a harmless chemical reaction between the sulfur in the egg white and the iron in the yolk, forming ferrous sulfide, and is a sign of overcooking.
Despite this, the green yolks are harmless and perfectly fine to eat
BIG No, an orange yolk doesn’t automatically mean better nutrition.
Yolk color is solely determined by what the hen eats-specifically, the pigments in its diet.
Big brands tweak the hen feed with marigold or corn to produce deep orange yolks and push orange yolks as “premium” or "better nutrition" but it’s marketing as much as science.
But the core nutrients—protein, fats, vitamins like B12 and D, choline—stay pretty consistent regardless of yolk color.
Instead of yolk color, one must focus on how hen has been raised and what it has been fed
The key difference lies in their packaging and potential for freshness and quality control.
Loose eggs, typically in open trays, are not sized or candled for quality, while packaged eggs are. Also, from farm to table, loose eggs are in constant exposure to dust and flies, in contrary to packaged one.
Another major concern with loose eggs is unknown source of procurement and unknown expiry date
Eggs don’t come with a strict "expiry date" like milk, but they do have a shelf life, and their freshness fades over time. Heat and humidity speed up their aging.
Do the float test: Drop an egg in water—fresh ones sink, older ones float (air builds up inside as they age).
Best before 21 days from the date of packing under room temperature.
Best before 30 days from the date of packing if refrigerated.
NOTE: Once refrigerated, don’t let them out for days unless you’re sure you’ll use them
Blood spots in eggs, also called "meat spots", are tiny red or brown spots that appear on the yolk or sometimes in the egg white.
These do not indicate a fertile egg rather caused by the rupture of a blood vessel during egg formation, and are harmless and safe to eat.
As an egg ages, water moves from the albumen into the yolk, diluting the blood spot. Thus, a visible blood spot actually indicates a fresh egg. Such eggs are suitable for consumption. The spot can be removed with the tip of a knife if you wish
Our eggs are fresh, healthy, tasty and nutritional powerhouse, and an affordable protein fix.
Our wonderfowl hens thrive on a carefully crafted, nutrient-packed balanced diet designed by the hen experts.
Their herbal meals include top-quality maize, bajra, corn, soya meal, til cake, rice bran, sunflower seeds, flaxseed, rounded out with organic supplements like selenium, omega DHA from algae, and vitamin D3.
They stay hydrated with ozonized, clean water.
This meticulous care results in healthier and tastier eggs.
On top of that, you know the source of eggs and their freshness
Nutritionally, there’s no real difference between white eggs and brown eggs. The color comes from the breed of the hen—white-feathered chickens lay white eggs, while red and brown-feathered ones lay brown eggs. The taste, yolk color, and nutrient content (like protein or vitamins) depend more on the hen’s diet and living conditions than the shell color. Brown eggs might cost more because the hens that lay them are often larger and need more feed, but that’s about it. You’re getting the same egg inside either way
India has a growing market for eggs, with several brands making a name for themselves by focusing on quality, nutrition, and ethical farming practices. like:
Sona Anda
suguna delfrez
Abhi Eggs
SKM Eggs
Eggoz
Henfruit
Happy Hens
OVO Farm
KEGGS
Warning: if you can manage to keep few hens in your backyard/balcony and provide them with good food and shelter, they will reward you with the best egg in the world, so good to ditch all the branded eggs at once
Free-range, Cage-free, pasture raised, country eggs, all these sound great on paper—happier hens, more natural living—but they come with some downsides. Here’s what stands out:
Fertile/Infertile eggs: As hens are free to roam, they might cross their path with some handsome rooster.
Therefore, surety about infertile eggs is at stake.
Higher Cost: Cage-free systems need more space and labor. Hens roam instead of being stacked in cages, so farms spend extra on land, bigger barns, and staff to manage them. That cost gets passed on—cage-free eggs can be 20-50% pricier than conventional ones.
Lower Production: Hens in cages are controlled—feed, light, and stress are optimized for max egg output. Cage-free hens might lay fewer eggs due to less predictable conditions, like seasonal changes or social squabbles. Studies show cage-free flocks can drop 5-15% in productivity compared to caged flocks.
Health Risks: Freedom comes with exposure. Cage-free hens can catch diseases like avian flu or parasites (mites, worms) more easily from soil, other birds, or wild animals. In cages, they’re isolated, reducing that risk. Plus, cannibalism or feather-pecking spikes in cage-free groups if stress or overcrowding kicks in—hens aren’t always chill.
Egg Quality Issues: Cage-free eggs can get dirty or cracked more often. Hens lay wherever they feel like—floors, nests, or random spots—unlike cages where eggs roll onto a conveyor. Dirty eggs need cleaning, which can weaken shells, and cracked ones get downgraded or tossed, driving up waste.
Inconsistent Nutrition: In cages, every hen gets the same precise feed ration. Cage-free hens might forage or fight over food, leading to uneven diets. Some get fat, others miss out, and that can mess with egg size or yolk quality over time.
Environmental Impact: More space and lower density sound eco-friendly, but cage-free setups can use more energy and water per egg. Heating larger barns, cleaning scattered droppings, and trucking fewer eggs per load can offset the “green” vibe compared to efficient cage systems.
Ultimately, It’s a trade-off. You get ethical wins—hens can move, perch, maybe dust-bathe—but it’s not all rosy. Costs climb, risks grow, and the egg supply takes a hit.
Therefore, it all boils down to ethics vs price (which is ultimately passed on to customers).
