I want you to know that I overdid the flax seed a few times out of sheer
sloppiness (easier to fill up the bowl than measure the ground seeds).
Afterward I burped "fishy taste" for up to 18 hours.  Excess flax seeds fed
to the hen could concieveably cause the same problem with eggs (fishy burps
for the egg eater).

Patty - now measuring the stuff more carefully
