    i have recently bought corn fed eggs from superquinn and also dunnes- normal eggs don't compare now! the problem is i cannot find them at all in any of the main supermarkets in belfast- even dunnes- their stock seems to vary according to store. i was in england at the weekend and they don't even do them in waitrose- they do sell double yolk eggs though :eek:
    i am in dublin fairly regularly so can shop there- i'm just wondering if they are sold anywhere else around the country- like dundalk/newry?
    thanks for any help! :)

    My local Dunnes stocks them, I imagine that is nationwide.

    Organic eggs also taste much better.

    Corn makes the Yolks yellow, we keep our chickens organically and give them mixed corn as a treat, the yolks are much more yellow when they eat cornmeal.

    Eh? Why on earth not?

    They may be fairly overpriced, but if you're just going in to buy one item, then what's the problem?

    Kind of defeats the purpose of even creating this thread if you're not willing to go into a specific place to buy them:confused:
