Will feeding peppers to your flock produce spicy eggs??

[townchicks]

What do you think about mixing pepper with chicken feed to deter Rodents??

Tried that, it did not work. It didn't keep squirrels out of my potted plants, either.

I've tried red pepper flakes to deter mice, rats and squirrels. They ignored the pepper flakes and ate all they wanted of my plants.

A friend of mine told me she heard somewhere that you can feed very hot peppers to your flock bc they do not have taste buds. In turn the chickens would also lay eggs that taste spicy. 🌶

I would think that feeding too many peppers over time would cause inflammation/irritation causing harm to their digestive track.

Is there truth to any of this??
