These chickens are egg-cellent

By Kimberly Lightbody

How do “backyard fresh” eggs taste? Well, we brought two of them to The Brooklyn Paper test kitchen for closer analysis.

Straight from the coop, the shells were brown and a little bit dirty. But once we rinsed them off and cracked ’em open, the brilliant yellow yolk and strong smell convinced us: these were some fresh eggs!

We fried them up and just added a little bit of salt and pepper — not that they needed any: they were more delicious than any we’d bought in a store.

Plus, there was the added fact of knowing that they didn’t have any hormones or antibiotics.
