do you buy the liquid egg or real eggs ? the liquid eggs have more white
than yellow and they added fish oils and other ingredients not egg related .
the omega 3 eggs feed is multigrains with flax seed . so most likelly wheat
and corn are in it  as main ingredients as the feed sold here called born3.
the chickens are also not in contact with outdoor but can moved freely
inside corridors.
I feel this omega 3 eggs are a pale imitation of any small scale real free
range egg producers can makes.
chickens are natural insects and other  invertebrate eaters and they get
better fatty acid profile that way than flax can provide. In fact they put
more long chain omega 3 ( EPA DHA) in their liquid egg by adding fish oil as
flax doen't do it as much .
is flax becoming the next soya .?eaten "a toute les sauces "? next: flax
burger , !
