Raw Eggs Smell

[Sonic Pug]

I had the honor of eating the first three eggs my hens laid today. Boy were they yummy. I scrambled them up, added salt and pepper, and then down the hatch they went. When I first cracked open the eggs though, there seemed to be a stronger smell to the eggs than I have ever experienced before. It wasn't a bad smell, just strong and noticeable. The eggs tasted perfectly fine. The girls get fresh greens, a little scratch/oats daily and their regular feed. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced stronger smell to their freshly cracked eggs?

Home raised eggs will have more flavor than store bought, which is a good thing. More flavor means a more noticeable smell. Smell and taste are closely linked.
