I have been reading the thread "Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat" and now I have a dumb question. I got my first pullets last November. I have 2 White Leghorns, a Speckled Sussex, and I think a Barred Rock that are laying. I got more Speckled Sussex and some Ameraucanas in March. My EEs aren't laying yet but I know they will lay blue to green colored eggs. My dumb question is this...I was told that blue/green eggs taste different than the white or brown eggs. That they are richer and are sought after by chefs to use in quiches and other egg heavy recipes. By what people are laughing at in the "Dumbest" thread, that isn't correct.
So do blue/green eggs taste different or not?
Another question arising from the "Dumbest" thread, I was told what I feed my girls changes the taste and color. Not from white to brown, but that certain foods can make the brown eggs lighter or darker and that if fed things like flax seed the yolks have more Omega 3s, so they taste richer.
So does what I feed my hens change the eggs in any way or no way at all?
