No, we are not going to eat eggs with chili, that actually does not sound very nice at all. I fed the CHICKENS the red hot chilis and look! 
This is what happens when you feed the last of the chilis from the garden to the chickens – the laying chickens! Red-Orange eggs yolks! I put a pre-chili yolk next to the fresh one so you can see the difference. I got this idea from Jake and I thought it was crazy but there you are! The proof is in the pudding! Or the yolk as the case may be. Isn’t that gorgeous.
Chickens do not have taste buds as we know them so they do not mind eating the hot chilis. I am going to do this every year from now on. I love that colour – I want to paint it on my wall.
Today Hugo and I are going on an excursion and with Jake and John minding the shop we are not coming back until tomorrow. So there will be no page tomorrow morning. Unless of course (as usual) something comes up!
So I hope you have a lovely TWO days.
Love celi

oooooh I LOVE the red hot chilli yolk!!
Safe travels for your excursion, see you when you return ❤
Do the chili eggs taste different when cooked?
Hi Victo, I have not done a serious taste test, I will have to do one soon before I run out of chillies! c
I am terribly curious!!!! 🙂
Such BEAUTIFUL pictures. That egg yolk looks incandescent. Wow.
Seeing those yolks makes me really resent the pale washed out yellow yolks that we are presented with as free range eggs. Happy travels and return safely. Laura
Kick up your heels and have a fabulous excursion!!! xoxoxo
I’m sure you would have said if the taste was any different with the chill fed chicken egg, but just in case, can you tell any difference?
Have a good trip 😉
No I could not tell any difference, but I eat my omelette FAST, standing up, in the morning..c
It’s amazing that it takes the colour and not the heat!
I love the timing of this! I have a bucket of scotch bonnets I didn’t have time to can. I was debating feeding them to my flock. Now it is settled:)
Make sure there is good ventilation! I look forward to seeing the colour of YOUR yolks!
I am dying of curiosity, and to have towait two days to satisfy it? Agony. I hope the chickens don’t get burned throats or upset tummies from those chillies! Jock’s nurses used to make hotter and hotter salads at lunchtime to see how much chili he could take before complaining. He never did complain, took it on the chin.
Have a nice expedition.
love,

climbing wall – fun for everyone.. c
boy these eggs are the “hot” topic of the day!! I’m just thinking about shopping for eggs in the grocery store ~ can’t you see those cartons: “Fresh from the farm ~ organic red hot chili eggs”!! I’ll look for some this weekend!!! might give those homemade noodles some color!!! have a great 2 day vacation!!!
That is a gorgeous color. I’d like to paint it on my wall, too.
HAVE FUN!!!

Who would have thought the yolks would change color. Amazing.
Maybe it’s worth trying with beetroot, too? It depends however on what one wants to do with them…. – Question: Why don’t they get green with all that grass the chicken feed? What about spinach?
That is a fabulous colour! Love it.
woohoo love the red eggs! Have fun today xoxo
It’s as marked as the difference between pasture raised chooks who have a lot of green in their diet and barn raised chooks who eat just grain. The natural colour of egg yolks isn’t yellow, it’s *orange*, and if you get yellow, you’re being short changed! I love the idea of red hot chilli eggs, but I could never persuade my chooks to eat capsicum (sweet peppers) let alone chillis…
