Chickens lay alot of eggs when they are young and production drops off as they get older. It was discovered when older chickens with reduced egg production are starved they will go through a molting process. Once that is complete their egg production goes back up to when they were young. HOWEVER, their egg shell composition following this process becomes compromised. It is thinner and more susceptible to allow salmonella to pass. This discover and practice of increased egg production resulted in the sudden increase of salmonella several years ago. As an fyi, McDonald's refuses to purchase eggs from any producer who uses this method and is very aggressive in elevating the ethical treatment of animals and animal byproducts in their industry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
