Omega-3 eggs info

[Hotwings]

Just curious. I have been hearing omega-3 eggs are good for you. How does one go to see they have omega-3 eggs. Do you feed the hens flax seed or what? Thank you

This is what I am working toward with my hens. That is why I am mixing my own feed. Of course, I don't proclaim to be an expert or anything, and since they haven't started to lay yet (only 19 wks old) I can't say it has been tested. So...
In their feed mix I am including flax seed and garlic.
There is a lot of on this subject, check out:
