Do they feed the chickens meat (protein)? When I was a kid, eggs were delicious. Now they’re bland as hell…”Vegetarian Hens” at all stores.

I was in CO a few years ago with people who raised animals and they’d take hambones (or what was left over from dinner) with meat on them and let the chickens peck at the bones. I had eggs one morning and my mouth literally watered. It brought me back to my youth.

I’ve been searching for eggs like that for 10 years now. Even farm eggs weren’t that good. I’ve gotten farm eggs in three states and a Canadian province. Still looking.

There are eggs like that - the ones that come from the farm that lets the chickens wander around and eat bugs.

We had chickens growing up - that extra source of protein really made the yolks yellow-orange. Also kept the huge garden free of pests without us having to use so damn many chemicals.
