🥚 Taste and Quality
Rhode Island Red eggs are known for their distinctive brown shells and deep yellow yolks, which come from the hens’ nutrient-rich diet — often including natural forage, grains, and greens.
Flavor: The taste is richer and slightly creamier than typical commercial white eggs. Many describe it as buttery, full-bodied, and “farm-fresh.”
Texture: When cooked, the whites are firm yet tender, while the yolks are dense and velvety, ideal for both frying and baking.
Aroma: Fresh brown eggs have a mild, natural aroma, unlike store-bought eggs that can sometimes smell stale or artificial.
Color indicator: The darker the yolk, the more carotenoids and nutrients it contains — a sign of healthy, pasture-raised hens.
🧪 Nutritional Highlights (per 1 large egg, ~50g)
(Note: Nutrient values can vary slightly based on the hen’s diet and environment.)

🐔 Why Rhode Island Reds Are Special
The Rhode Island Red breed is famous for being hardy, productive, and adaptable — perfect for the tropical highlands of Mindanao. These chickens lay around 250–300 eggs per year, with strong shells and consistent quality. Their reddish-brown feathers and calm temperament make them both beautiful and easy to care for.

Because they thrive in free-range environments, their eggs tend to have higher nutritional density — especially in vitamins A, D, and omega-3s — compared to caged-layer eggs.
