parablax Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hello all, I have some layers and have noticed that the egg whites have a slight unpleasent metal taste when hard-boiled or fried. My birds are fed on the smallholders range layers pellets and have access to grit and oyster shell and a handful of corn in the evening. Has anyone else had this problem - any thoughts?

Egluntyne Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Are they free ranging and eating a particular plant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parablax Posted June 9, 2010 Author Share Posted June 9, 2010 They have an outdoor run that used to be a plant border - there are a couple of shrubs and a large fern - maybe I should dig them out! Are there any particular plants that should be avoided - when I let mine free range, they go crazy for the grass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
