hilda-and-evadne Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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. http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/foodanddrink/hughfearnleywhittingstall/story/0,,2276064,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I saw my friend yesterday, she made sandwiches with the eggs I gave her & took them into school, the other teachers tried them & they all agree that my girls eggs taste better than anything they have bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
