I'm not sure what's causing this, but I have a 'fishy' taste to my eggs.
My hens Free range all day long, but also get free access to crumble food. Currently they are eating Dumor Grower/Finisher

They also get raw goats milk every couple of days.
I don't know what's causing my eggs to taste off, or how to fix it. It has been frog season and I have noticed a couple of my hens eat some baby frogs. Could the frogs be doing it? If there anything I could feed them to make the eggs taste better? I've also noticed the yolks are a bit duller than before, despite them eating LOTS of greens and bugs and such.
If it makes any difference, there's been some upset in the flock. I removed a duck that was trying to mate with my hens, a broody hatched a brood of 16, and I've got 6 pullets nearing the point of lay who've been trying to act like 'big girls' and move up in the ranks. I've never had THIS problem before..
