Fish smelling eggs?

[team_realtree]

When I cook the eggs from my rhode island reds they smell faintly fishy? They don't taste fishy they just smell it when they are cooking. Does anyone know why?

I have no idea. Are you feeding oyster shells? I don't know if that would do it or not, but it's the only thing I can think of.

no

Hmmm...does your feed happen to have fishmeal in it? Could you be storing them in a refriderator that has a fishy smell?

Too much flax can make them taste fishy also, but don't know since it's just the smell.

I give mine salmon to eat once a week and I've never smelled anything fishy.

Perhaps your RIRs have more Omega III in them. Healthy!

Funny you should metion this..I boiled about 4 eggs for breakfast one day this week and 3 of them were good, but one smelled fishy so I threw it out. I love fish, but hate the smell of fresh fish...

They eat wild grass and get tractor supply "rolling acres" layer feed. Thats it. I want to give eggs away to people but not if they smell like salmon when they are cooking. I know they are fresh but most people would smell that and throw them away.

Finally eggs and now this!
