I thought chickens don't have taste buds? I had an egg eater two homes ago. I blew out the egg and filled with siracha. The chicken still ate it.
I've read that they can't taste "heat".
So adding hot pepper flakes to their feed will deter rodents & such.
Surely they can taste to some extent??

Thanks for the suggestion. It's probably going to wait until I get back from my trip. Broody is still on 6 eggs (I checked under her this afternoon, she was not amused) and I just don't have time to mess with it.
