Science Fair

[BittieBabe]

Howdy! I am doing a Science Fair project and I need some answers. I am researching how different foods affect my hens' eggs. I am currently feeding my 5 hens 10 tangerines a day along with their regular food, for one week, for the best results. Does anyone have any advice or input? Does anyone know what other foods would change the color or taste of eggs? Thank you!

I just did a science fair project with my chickens, also. I fed my hens each 1/2 a cup of roasted, unsalted peanuts each for 1 and a half weeks. Then, I measured the difference in the length and weight between peanut eggs and non-peanut eggs. Here is the link: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Zoo_p020.shtml
The eggs did get bigger.

What is it exactly you want input on?
My friend is doing a project on different foods if her birds prefer certain colored food. I am doing a project on how sound levels affect the behavior of shrimp.

I am looking for one other food that will either change the size, taste or color of my hens eggs. Thanks!

Peanuts change the size.

I've read that feeding them lots of onion and garlic will change the taste of the eggs. Not sure if that is correct or not!

It is.it makes them taste like garlic and onion!
