It's a children's tv show based on a children's book series. A cartoon where a teacher takes her class on magic field trips and they learn things, like what happened to dinosaurs, how the body works, etc, and apparently where eggs come from LOL. There's no reason for you to have ever seen or heard of it, LOL And it's not spelt with a j That must have been a typo.

Nah don't feel old. If I didn't have younger siblings I would have had no idea what it was either

I've read in organic gardening books that it's not natural for a hen to lay an egg every single day. An egg every two or three days is more the natural order.

To maximise productivity, commercial egg farmers keep lights on 24 hours a day so the hens are in a perpetual state of daylight, which triggers regular laying. The poor girls are burnt out quickly by this accelerated laying cycle

I'm surprised you never heard of the Magic School Bus! It was one of my favorite book series growing up! I LOVED it!

We always get free range chicken eggs, because my grandma had free-range chickens and we take eggs from her. I like it because these chickens get excersise, they get to eat food without chemicals, not to mention they get to eat bugs and other things that are healthy for them.

I'm going to ask my grandma if I can buy a cicken or two from her when I am older so that I can have my own eggs. Unfortunatly because of the bird droppings, she is now sick and may not be able to keep them much longer anyway.

I've had free-range eggs before, but I think they taste SO GROSS.. so I don't get them

And - true story that relates to Richard's comment.. once my grandma thought they were actually free, told my papa that she knew of a farm that was giving out free eggs and made him drive all the way out there to get her free range-eggs. He had to explain that it was actually free-range eggs

Then I think you need to find a different brand or supplier. Free-range eggs taste absolutely no different than regular eggs.

I agree. They taste EXACTLY the same.............no difference.

[wolfsoul]

I agree, they taste the same lol. They look alot different though. The free-range eggs I get have very orange yolks. They are alot darker. We also get the green and brown coloured shells.

That's true. I think it is cool. I like how all the eggs are different colors and sizes.
