What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Eggs from your own chickens"
Answer
Ellen White stated that it should not be considered a violation of principle to use eggs from healthy fowls that are well cared for and suitably fed, as eggs provide essential nourishment and contain properties that serve as remedial agencies against poisons. While caution is advised against extremes in diet and the overstimulation of children, obtaining eggs from healthy sources remains appropriate where needed. In her own household practice, she raised chickens, fed them grain, and used their eggs for her table.
Ellen White's Own Household Chickens and Eggs
»She raised her own chickens and fed them grain. These fowl provided the eggs used in her home. Her five cows supplied the milk she and the family drank and milk for the families of her helpers.«

And while warnings have been given against the use of these articles of diet in families where the children were addicted to, yes, steeped in, habits of self-abuse; yet we should not consider it a denial of principle to use eggs of hens which are well cared for and suitably fed....«
No Violation of Principle to Use Eggs from Well-Fed Fowls
»While warnings have been given regarding the dangers of disease through butter, and the evil of the free use of eggs by small children, yet we should not consider it a violation of principle to use eggs from hens that are well cared for and suitably fed. Eggs contain properties that are remedial agencies in counteracting certain poisons.«
Care in Securing Eggs From Healthy Fowls
»Great care should be taken, however, to obtain milk from healthy cows and eggs from healthy fowls, that are well fed and well cared for; and the eggs should be so cooked as to be most easily digested.«

Why I built EGW Vision
Hello, I am Stephan Krol. I started this Ellen White website to make the writings of Ellen G. White and the Adventist pioneers easier to access for everyone.
EGW Vision helps you find topics, statements, and quotes faster, especially when many original sources are not yet fully available in your language. The tool searches semantically, groups relevant content by topic, and presents matching results as clearly as possible in your language.
My hope is that this tool supports personal Bible study, strengthens trust in the original sources, and helps more people discover the message of these writings with clarity, depth, and joy.
