ALERT: Brown Eggs- Kashrus dilemma

 Brown Eggs have a tendency to have more blood spots, brown or red. At times they have what is called in Yiddish a "gersh'tel", also a problem.

Very often they are Cage-free, and there are roosters.

The blood-spots are a ד'אוריתא.

All Amish country eggs have roosters.

Usually at least 3-5 eggs out of a dozen have an serious kashrus issue- THEREFORE COOKING THEM AND NOT CHECKING IS not compliant with THE HALACHA.

There is no Heter for a Non-frum to check eggs, even if they get paid for every one they find.

R Yudel, can you explain why having roosters and free cage present kashrus issues, for those am haratzim that just think your are maching krank.

OU is putting their symbol on such cartons that almost all the eggs have blood spots. They have brushed off complaints over the years. Why throw out easy profit $$??????!

You seriously don’t know that roosters impregnate hens?

they don't impregnate, they fertilize the eggs.

Brown spots on brown eggs are shell color, similar to birthmarks on human skin. Brown spots are NOT blood spots. Please educate yourself on the difference before you throw wild claims of most eggs having blood spots out there.

there are many blood spots, red ones that any one with decent eye sight can see-just checked a dozen and had 5 blood spots.

To the OU insider apologist, please refrain from putting the OU on cartons that your organization knows are rife with ACTUAL blood spotted eggs. Thanks

White hens have white eggs. Brown hens have brown eggs white eggs may have white spots brown eggs may have brown spots this is not blood
If the brown eggs are not from Lancaster where the Amish still use roosters and still use kindling the eggs are fine.
Sometimes you need to speak to someone who actually has been to the chicken farm
