Gen-san's free-range eggs. 50 eggs in sizes M to 2L, shipped in a corrugated cardboard box containing 5 packs of 10 eggs each. *The ratio of each size may vary depending on the outside temperature, etc. Freshly laid, morning-harvested eggs are shipped on the same day. We are committed to animal welfare and raise our chickens in a free-range environment with as little stress as possible. Egg characteristics: These are eggs from the Boris Brown breed of chicken. These eggs are reddish-brown, with a high, well-defined white and a firm yolk that doesn't break easily when picked up with chopsticks. They are also known as the king of red eggs. They are highly praised for their rich, full-bodied flavor and delicious taste. About the feed: Fresh groundwater (water quality tested) is used for drinking water. We are particular about using domestic, additive-free feed, and we mix our own feed of rice, wheat, potatoes, soybeans, oyster shells, fish meal, etc., and ferment it before feeding it to the chickens. Especially, fish meal is an important nutrient that affects the taste of the eggs, so we use fresh, additive-free, made-to-order bonito fish meal sourced from Kyushu. While it is common to use scraps from farmed fish, we use only high-quality bonito. It has no fishy smell and tastes delicious. In addition to these feeds, we also give them plenty of our own cultivated vegetables and green feed, which is natural green grass. Green feed contains a lot of natural vitamins and dietary fiber, which has the effect of keeping the body slightly alkaline, making the chickens less susceptible to disease and growing strong. My chickens do not have their beaks trimmed※, so they can peck at hard things like potatoes and pumpkins during the winter when green feed is scarce. They especially love pumpkins and bamboo shoots. ※We do not administer any antibiotics, vaccines, or other medications for disease prevention or treatment, so you can enjoy them with peace of mind. We follow the Livestock Hygiene Manual and have received high marks in audits by the Livestock Hygiene Inspection Office. About washing eggs: The eggshell is protected by a membrane called the cuticle layer, which guards against the entry of bacteria. We recommend washing the eggs just before eating them. Expiration date: 21 days (autumn and winter) How to use: Please consume raw eggs within the expiration date. Eggs that have passed the expiration date or have cracked shells should be cooked thoroughly as soon as possible. ※Note: Beak trimming is a very cruel and short-sighted act of cutting off the tip of the beak of chicks shortly after birth to prevent them from pecking and killing other chickens due to stress or lack of fiber. Unfortunately, 90% of domestic laying hens undergo this procedure.
