OK I have NEVER noticed anything like this before and our hens are a free ranging bunch, eat lots of things that I don't have any control over, I always give them veggies scraps, lately I think they have had a lot of pumpkin bits, but the other day I noticed my egg was definitely smelling "fishy"....not rotten at all or strong egg, sulphury smelling but just like fish.
Anyhow, I started cracking eggs and noticed some more like that, still don;t know about the taste, cos I gave it to the dogs instead of trying it. I do have kind of a sensitive nose but still this was really obvious, like as soon as you cracked the eggs, I didn't have to hold it up to smell it.
Today I cracked 7 eggs from yesterday and only 1 had it but now I am suspicious of the two dozen I put away from the other day...
We feed our hens 50 % layer ration (16%) from the local Co op and 50% whole spring wheat, I am wondering about fish oil in the layer but did some google searches and came up with info on a defective gene in brown layers? and other stuff..anyone else ever noticed this?
