One of my 23wk old hybrids (I don't know which) is laying eggs that taste sort of earthy, almost a mould type of taste - any ideas? Is she just eating more bugs from the ground?

food can alter the taste of an egg - before getting my girls I bought some from a place and they tasted fishy - yuk!!
however if an egg shell is very porous then this can also affect the taste.

i noticed a slight taste difference in my girlies eggs when i changed pellets supplier . only slightly but just shows that it could infact be what yours are eating . Was it a particular wet week so there were more worms eaten ?

Re-cycled worms I think I feel sick now, never really thought about that before.

I once watched my girls fight over and eat a dead mouse....couldn't eat eggs for a week!!

My girls keep finding little frogs, you should see them fight over them!! I think it adds body to the yolks!!!!

Think it may just be me! gave some visitors an egg each and asked if anyone could taste earth and nobody could. They're not the sort to be polite either!
