Green Eggs vs Blue Eggs for A Premium Egg Business

If I'm reading it right, it's a high dose of vitamin K? From what I looked up on hemin solution.

Hemin and Vitamin K are not the same

Do I understand that hemin is a blood product?

If this is the case wouldn't feeding a blue egg layer raw red meat do the same?

Lol, that solution is costly. $300 plus for 10 of them and it's a restricted substance.

Ah correct I ended up reading something on k1- hemin solution.

I believe I just found what caused that blue egg to be that blue.

"After injection with hemin solution, one hen in the treatment group laid a very blue egg, and the content of biliverdin in this shell increased to about 3.1 times as compared with before injection of hemin solution. At the same time, the expression level of HO-1 mRNA in the shell gland of this treated hen laid a very blue egg was about 3.0 times the control hens"

We need someone with hens that lay blue eggs and start treatment(only 3 days) and see just how deep blue we can get.

Wow! You figured it out!

Is Hemin generally safe?

I'd be totally willing if it's safe, available, and affordable...

After you inject your hen, and she turns out to be the one hen out of six that responds to the solution by laying a super blue egg, how long will she lay those eggs before the effect wears off? Or will it wear off? Does it change the genetics of the chicken? Would a chick incubated from a super blue egg be viable and develop normally? Would it lay super blue eggs all on its own without getting a shot? How much do you think I could sell those for?

What an awesome idea! I have so many questions!!!

... I just realized that this is basically the beginning of vampire chickens...

Reseach about chicken genetics is what I do.

Hemin is pretty safe. Just make sure to apply the dose as directed. Three days is what it says to see results, the effects will last during treatment. The hen will go back to normal when the dosage is not administered.
