they are fresh they cost less than the really pricey organic chicken eggs. Try to figured figure how different Ostrich eggs might be from chicken eggs. Ostrich eggs are physically bigger than most chicken eggs, and have a noticeable “heft” to them. Their less ivory white shells (they actually look a bit dirty white, literally and figuratively) are also thicker/harder than chicken eggs. The yolks are humongous relative to the whites and they are an incredible shade of orange, reminiscent of the finest organic chicken eggs. Ostrich eggs apparently have a stronger flavor when cooked and taste tested up against a chicken egg.
