The eggs sold in the kosher stores don't have a hechsher either.

By now there are 10 states that have the law of only cage-free eggs.

Cage-free eggs are a scam. They are regular farmed chickens that are given some time every day with their coop open so they can be cage-free. However, chickens that are cooped up all day aren't necessarily running out the minute the door is open. They are conditioned to like the crowded coop. But as long as they are given the option, the eggs are allowed to be called cage-free.

My hens are young and don't get artificial lighting, which leads to less issues, I've actually had only one blood spot ever. The reason brown eggs are more likely to have blood spots is because they are harder to candle for the bad ones to be removed. Technically, the white ones are just as likely to have blood spots.

If not all types of chickens are kosher, and other species of fowl aren’t kosher, how do you know your eggs are kosher? Like how do you know some wild bird didn’t breed with your chickens? I’m much more comfortable buying eggs from chickens that are commercialized, they are kept in cages and there is no chance of them mating with any other bird or breed. Plus the eggs are all candled and generally dont have blood spots. (Brown eggs have more red areas but most of them aren’t blood spots. But I avoid brown eggs as much as possible.) |
The way we know which birds are kosher are specific signs, based on mesorah. It's what they look like that matters, not potentially what may have mated with it. So for example some signs for chickens are yellow bill, 4 toes, not grasping food with their feet. Our minhag, which is what most hold, is yellow legs, no feathers on feet. There is a kosher chicken that lays gorgeous blue eggs but does not have the signs of the non kosher bird it comes from. The offspring also have only kosher signs. Therefore they're considered kosher.

So if a kosher bird mates with a non kosher bird, it’s possible that some offspring will be kosher and some won’t? And the kosher ones could also have offspring that aren’t kosher since it’s in the genes?

Huh? I was in Israel for 12 years, moved recently. Eggs were definitely more expensive in my local makolet than in the large supermarkets. Maybe they can't go higher than a certain price, but they're definitely cheaper in some stores than others.
ETA: And was definitely more than 14 nis for a dozen eggs in my local makolet.

No the chickens would need to breed true, meaning that their offspring look like them and have all the kosher signs.

A hawk can’t just breed with a chicken. It doesn’t work like that.

Don't worry, we hold it goes according to the mother. (Joking in case that wasn't obvious)

Yes, of course. That's why I was curious if you have more blood than brown eggs, since the white eggs are candled and the ones with blood removed, whereas the brown ones can't be properly candled so they have more blood spots. I assume that you don't candle your eggs so I was wondering how that affects your ratio of blood-spotted eggs. Interesting that you don't have a problem.

But the original chicken may have bred with another bird creating non kosher type chickens. And then if those chickens breed with kosher chickens, that's how we can have issues...

Yes, but not all chicken breeds are kosher.

I think in the factories, the chickens are in a lot more stressful conditions which can be part of the problem. But my parents have older hens and they do occasionally find blood spots.
