Hugh F-W,

 

"Recent studies by London Metropolitan University indicated that the more time a bird spends outside, the better the nutritional value of its meat and eggs. Chickens need to eat grass (or other green plants) and/or the bugs that feed on such greenery in order to build vital fatty acids. The critical one is omega 3 DHA, one of the most important elements in the human diet for building a healthy brain. The meat and eggs of birds that live the true outdoor life are a rich source of this potent substance. Tragically, intensively reared poultry are barely able to produce it."

 

plus recipes and plug for his All About Chickens course on 17 May.

Every time I give eggs away, I later get comments like 'those tasted wonderful', 'they really spoil you for shop-bought eggs', 'they're totally different to the ones you buy in the supermarket' and so on.

 

My friends are not all that polite and diplomatic, there really is a difference in the quality of the eggs.
