It all depends on what the chickens have been fed on. I once had (in Nigeria) some eggs that had been fed on some fishy food - ugh! It was like eating fishy eggs. Mind you, these were on an experimental farm out there. Sylvia xxx |

Yes I have had fishy tasting eggs. It all depends on the feed. Eggs used to have a much darker yolk than today's standard. Another thing which I was reminded of only yesterday is that they are not as cohesive as they used to be. Once an egg would hardly run on the pan bottom, nowadays they are all over the frying pan like liquid. Even trying to get them out without busting the yolk seems almost impoosible these days. |

From someone in the industry, yes it does boil down to what is in the feed. Due to BSE all animal feed has to be vegetarian. This is fine for cows and sheep as they are herbivores, but chickens are not vegetarian, especially as young birds. Free range birds have access to the outside world and so also have access to worms, insects and even the odd mouse. It is known that someone experiencing increased pecking in his few hens fed them some dried cat food and that solved the problem. Vegetable protein is different from animal protein. Remember free range chickens are more likely to carry salmonella, so wash your hands after handling them, the bugs are on the shell. Unfortunately our taste buds do diminish as we get older, and has been said before nothing tastes like it did when your mum cooked it. Ros |

Mind you, supermarket eggs can be very fresh too. A story in the paper a few weeks ago of a woman who bought some (i think organic) eggs just for her broody hen to sit on - one of them actually hatched!! Kxx |
