I have heard that changing the diet of your hens effects the taste and colour of their eggs. Is that true? and how long after a diet change would you notice a difference in their eggs?
 
* I have noticed changes in Miss Chook's eggs by the third egg after a change usually. Ed: Hers are white, though, so that's only size, shell thickness, albumin density, yolk color/density, shell texture, and egg taste.

Garlic and onions can give the eggs a nasty taste. If you give the girls leafy green stuff and plenty of veggies the yolks will be a nice golden color instead of pale yellow. Mine like cukes, zucchini, strawberries, yogurt, cottage cheese, potatoes (especially baked and then let to cool on a cold day), malt o meal, cream of wheat, or oatmeal in the winter, fresh dandelion greens, cabbage, tomatoes, squash, bananas, and about anything else I will feed them.
