from seed oil scout's egg testing:
"The primary driver of high Omega-6 (linoleic acid) in chicken eggs is the feed. Conventional chickens are raised on a slurry of corn and soy—both crops that are high in unstable polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).
-Conventional Feed: A ratio of nearly 11:1 (Omega-6 to Omega-3).
-Soy-Free Feed: A ratio of approximately 4.5:1.
The Sunflower Swap: Some farms (Shirttail Creek) remove soy but replace it with sunflower oil or meal, which is also high in linoleic acid.
The Flax Hack: Other farms pump chickens full of flaxseed to artificially jack up the Omega-3 numbers on the label. "
Since your eggs may have more linoleic acid than ideal it is best to keep all your other sources low and your total as low as possible.
in texas, Ken's Henz are a great non soy non-gmo choice
