Yesterday Bluebell laid her first egg and mid morning today I found Bluebell’s second egg in the nest box. It was slightly bigger and more blue than her first, truly beautiful! I felt very proud of her.<\/p>\n

They look so wonderful and I feel I could cry because we haven’t been able to eat any of the eggs due to the mouldy taste. I am at my wit’s end with this as I have been reading chicken blogs for the last two years or more and have only done things and given treats that I have read everyone else does and no one else has this problem. I just cannot understand why this is happening and the longer it goes on the worse I feel because I\u00a0just don’t know what else I can do.<\/p>\n

I am waiting until morning to taste Bluebells egg before I put out this post.<\/p>\n

This morning we poached Bluebell’s egg and both tasted it. It was just the same, a strong mouldy, woody, unpleasant taste. I am beyond disappointed. We have now had twelve eggs from Treacle (there was one in the nest box this morning at first light) and two from Bluebell. I had never expected to finally get eggs and not be able to eat them, it’s heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

I have e-mailed the farm that I got the chickens from, asking them if they have any ideas or advice. I just don’t know what else to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
