i have just fried two eggs that i got from the
rescued birds on saturday the eggs were layed on
sunday
they look so different from the other eggs that i have been getting
from my other birds
i supose it takes a few days for the farmers crappy food to
get out of their system

What do you mean, different?? Have they got thin shells?

Yeah, I reckon they'll be like your other Ladies eggs in a few weeks time...

the yoke was a totaly diferent colour
and it seemed thicker
it was as if you had mixed some corn flour in with it
it just did not seem natural
if you know what i mean
and i have a faint tange in my mouth

...but didnt I read somewhere that it takes 25 days to form an egg and lay it?? You might have to use them in cakes and mix them with the others Dave! )c+

ooo dear!!!

I found my eggs lovely from the beginning -they're MASSIVE and I never noticed that they were horrid??

What I did notice though, is that they got much richer and tastier when they got the food I gave them - ie sweetcorn, spinach, garlic, spaghetti and olive oil etc

25 hours, not days :oops:

People comment about our eggs saying that Sally chickens eggs are always the nicest, I don't eat them, I have eaten the odd one, but I really don't like them, I'm sure once they get in their stride they'll taste like all the others, they've only eaten his rubbish mash.

just collected 10 eggs and you can not tell the diference
between any of them they all of similar size
so if they are the same on the outside i guesse they
are the same on the inside!!!
