alison Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have two eggs a day, generally poached and really enjoy them, but a few times lately, they have tasted very 'earthy'. so much so, this morning I threw away my boiled eggs Anyone experienced this before, I haven't changed their diet in any way, pellets, bokashi, garlic and grit. I have started to give them lifeguard tonic in their water, is that the reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 How strange . I've not heard of that before . The only thing I can find talks about fishy tasting eggs so that's probably not much help . Where do you store your eggs? Could they be tainted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Interesting article, thank you. I store them on an egg skelter and ceramic egg dishes, on the draining board, not near anything 'smelly' I am wondering if it the battles lifeguard, so the next few barrels of water will be just water!

Valkyrie Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 The whites of mine a couple of months ago tasted slightly metallic while the yolks were fine. It was put down to them gorging on leeks - even though we had fenced them off, they were still managing to scoff away. Things got back to normal once the remaining leeks were harvested - couple of days to get it out their system and the taste was fine. The little bit of Lifeguard doesn't seem to affect ours, although I have stopped giving it to them daily - just once a week or so. I do add cider vinegar to the water in between though.
