Hi, I'm new to this forum and new to raising chickens. I've have two buffs, both 6 months old and they just started laying eggs about 2 weeks ago. From one chicken, the eggs taste amazing. The other chicken's eggs make me want to gag when I smell them or taste them. They are just foul! I usually let them free range around my yard which made me think the one was eating something that caused the eggs to taste and smell bad. So I kept them in the coop for a week hoping that was it. Unfortunately, that didn't resolve anything. The feed is an organic and produced by a local shop in town, and, considering both chickens eat it, I don't think it's the food. I don't wash the eggs and I've tried cooking them just a few hours after laying but the one chicken still has really foul eggs and the other tastes great. Any thoughts? Is this normal when the start laying eggs?
