What do you feed yours? I can taste the difference between store bought normal eggs and pasture-raised, but I have also have friends who have yard layers whose eggs tasted like soy and flax (ugh) and I just keep buying Vital Farms because they consistently taste good.

I remember vital farms had good eggs when I was getting them in store.

I feed them fermented 'bird seed' mix, sprouted sunflower seeds in the winter, soy free layer crumbles, leftovers, ect... I try to be creative with feed sources. When its real cold I cook them a pot of seeds or rice with whatever food scraps I have. They get dried mealworms (mostly in winter). I make 'suet' cakes with bacon grease and seeds

I use a deep bedding consisting mostly of bagged leaves and yard waste. They kick through this and find seeds, bugs, worms, mycelium, and more. I put logs in the run that get flipped over once in a while (they love this).
