James516 Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Well, it seems the girls like baked beans, although not as much as sweetcorn or grapes. Their favourite is still lemon couscous! Has anyone ever detected a change in the taste of the eggs depending on the girls' diets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 I haven't although there was a post on here a long time ago about feeding the girls acorns, which apparently give the yolks a green tinge.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Mine love baked beans too. Although mixed corn and cooked rice are still tops with my girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I think that if you over do the garlic and onions it can affect the eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I had a big fat Bluebelle that used to nick the garlic cloves out the water every morning, and it gave her eggs a slight garlic tinge to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocobo Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I've heard that giving lots of greens to your chickens causes the yolks to go very yellow, and the eggs tasting nicer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukebox Tim Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Try them on purple sprouting broccoli. Mine love it. Spinach too. Make for great golden yolks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
