Does Chicken Feed Affect Egg Color and Taste?
Hypothesis
- Food coloring will change the color of egg yolk
- Strong tasting food (such as onion) will change the taste of the egg
Procedures
We started by feeding Fluffy onions. Fluffy is fatter, so I think he eats more, so that's why we picked her. Cookies got regular feed. We did this for 4 days. Then we compared the egg taste and color. The color is the same, but Fluffy's eggs tasted different than before. Next we started giving Cookie green food coloring mixed with rice and Fluffy got blue coloring. There was no change in the taste of the egg or egg yolk color, but we found green poops. There was no blue poop, I think maybe because regular poop is dark brown so it was hard to tell the blue. The last experiment was to test the molasses and flaxseed. Fluffy got molasses mixed with rice and Cookie got flaxseed some rice. We always give them some rice because they both love rice. The result was that we found Fluffy's egg taste better, less eggy, maybe a little sweet. Haruhi's mom left some pieces of the eggs we tried and there were more ants there to eat the molasses egg. Cookie's egg with flaxseed didn't taste good, kind of fishy.
Our Conclusion
It is possible to change the taste of the egg, but we were not able to make “green eggs and ham.” The best we can make the egg yolk looks redder, a sweeter tasting egg. Onions can also change the taste a little bit, but chicken don’t really like onions. Flaxseed has a lot of O-mega 3 but makes the egg taste fishy. We can’t tell the changes in egg with apple cider vinegar. Sunday, March 10, 2013
