Thank you, Benny! That's a wonderful idea! At least someone here has good ideas! ;)
I actually do have some chickens that haven't had anything but oats for the past few months, so I will try it with their eggs.
The other eggs we've been using are duck eggs that have been laid by ducks who are eating proper food.
I'm definitely going to try that, but first we have to wait until their rash gets all the way better or we won't know for sure.

I think that you should expend the experiment to Ducks too.
4 flocks:
Chicken-normal feed
Chicken-only oats
Duck-normal feed
Duck-only oats
And then see the reaction to the eggs.

Maybe she will agree to pay for less birds

The price has nothing to do with it. She is perfectly capable of paying for the feed. The only reason she wants to go back to the other feed is because she thinks that whatever is in the feed we're using now is somehow giving them a rash, but I don't see how you could get a rash from that.

@Akrnaf2 Do YOU think that it is possible to get a rash through eating eggs that are laid by birds eating a certain food? Do you think that the food the birds are eating will pass through the eggs and give the person who eats the eggs a rash?

I thought that you would get a rash from the actual egg, NOT from what the bird who laid the egg, is eating.

I can't expand it to ducks because there is only one duck hen currently laying eggs and she is not laying them consistently. She's only laying them every other day or so.

People with extreme seafood allergies can have allergic reactions from traces of oyster-shell and fish meal derived nutrients in eggs.
 
Elly, I'll ask you kindly to not insist that I follow god. You will not convert me, try as you might.

Hmmm, interesting. I don't think they have seafood allergies though. We eat salmon and tuna every once in a while and it never bothers the in the least. Usually when something bothers them, they notice it right away, like a soon as they eat just a few bites of it. They immediately get a stomach ache.

I'm not saying they do have seafood allergies. Just explaining it can happen.

Egg allergies tend to be developed when eggs are eaten in too large of quantities too often. Or if the bird who laid the egg ingested a toxin

I know you're not trying to say they do, I'm
just making sure you know that they don't.

When my brother got this egg rash, we hadn't eaten eggs in over a week. Then mom put only 2 eggs in a really big batch (2 eggs mixed into several gallons worth of batter) of something she was making. That's when he's rash showed up, after he ate some of that.
I don't know if raw eggs has anything to with egg allergies, but we also don't eat raw eggs.
Just thought it might be helpful to know that.
