might not have seen this study done on Polyface eggs. The Study was conducted by The Mother Earth News Magazine at a lab in Seattle and was publicized Oct/Nov 2007 in the magazine.The below compares Polyface Eggs with the USDA standard egg:
Polyface Farm vitamin E: 7.37 mg
USDA vitamin E: 0.97 mg
Vitamin A: 763 IU
USDA vitamin A: 487 IU
Beta carotene: 76.2 mcg
USDA beta carotene: 10 mcg
Folate: 10200 mcg
USDA folate: 47 mcg
Omega-3s: 0.71 g
USDA omega-3s: 0.033g
Cholesterol: 292 mg
USDA cholesterol: 423 mg
Saturated Fat: 2.31 g
USDA saturated fat: 3.1 g
Amazing? Yeah, we think so too. This shows what happens when you let the animals express themselves and raise them the way the Creator intended. I'm sure you have heard (or will hear) Joel talk about the "chickeness of a chicken" or the "pigness of a pig". Here's scientific proof that it is not only healthier for the animals but for us as well!
A quick testimonial - when I was pregnant with Lauryn last year, I was having a really hard time keeping pre-natal vitamins down. I was just too sick and they just seemed to add to the troubles. I took a copy of this article to my doctor. She looked at it and said, "Throw the vitamins in the trash and eat the eggs! This is abolutely amazing! Where can I buy them?"
What do you think?

Very interesting!
This is great! I am assuming that if someone fenced in their chickens (like a run) around a coop, the eggs would end up like the USDA eggs.
Polyface eggs are like this bc the chickens eat grass and bugs and are truly free-range. Not to mention the attention to pasture management.
Yes indeed, dailyhike, Polyface chickens are truly free-range.
I love this! We pasture range our own chickens, and when I was pregnant, my Dr. told me that my nutrition blood tests results were the best she had ever seen for a pregnant woman. I completely attribute it to having 2 eggs every morning.
