Hi Greg;
I eat the Omega 3 eggs from Burnbrae Farms (packing done in Lyn, ON, St
Zotique QC, or Winnipeg MB). I am living in Ottawa. I sometimes eat
free-run and try to buy according to latest due date.

They also state on the package: 75mg DHA Omega 3 per egg and "no medication
or antibiotics in the feed".
Anyhow, I do find them some of the most delicious eggs I have ever eaten but
with generally a stronger taste, and a darker yellow colour in the yolk. But
I usually eat them soft-boiled and the full flavour is somewhat lessened. A
friend who eats hard-boiled said that he found them a little too strong
tasting so they may not be for everyone.
I would agree with you about balance in fats with wild food, of course,
having the more optimum ratios.
