Quote: Is she your first hen, or are these your first home grown eggs?

What they sell in the shops, labelled 'organic' and 'freerange', whether eggs or meat, NEVER tastes like homegrown freerange and organic. I have no idea how they manage that. I like the home grown better in all ways. Is it possible you're just not used to the difference of true organic and free range?

Also another possibility is she's eating something that's flavoring the eggs weirdly. Diet is usually a good thing to check, double check, and triple check. Best wishes.

If you're comparing home-grown eggs to store eggs, they will always taste different (and look different, and the shells are different... etc.) If you have a Farmer's Market in your area, or if there are local farm eggs offered on your area Craigslist, try buying a dozen so that you can compare the eggs your hen is laying to other *truly* free-range eggs. That way you can see if there's actually something "off" about yours, or if it's just the inherent difference between real eggs and store eggs.

Congratulations on your first eggs!
