TCP taste tainting eggs??!

[HFhens]

PLEASE help!

We're having really bad problems with a strange and awful tcp-like taste tainting our backyard free range eggs. Thought we had sorted it a few weeks ago but it has come back...

Causes we thought we had identified and subsequently eliminated/removed: freshly painted egg storage hut, earth powder, farmer spraying fields neighbouring field, home mix feed with molasses etc, mite powder mixed into dust baths.... But it has come back so must be something else !!!

Any experience/ suggestions please?!?!

Welcome to the site. We're glad you joined. Please reread the question and see if someone else could know what you mean.
I don't mean to be flippant but this is a hard one and I've seen similar questions about taste and smell of fresh eggs lately. We really like to help people solve their problems here but to begin, please spell it out. What is TCP an acronym for? There are probably 50 possibilities.
transformer coupled plasma
tricresyl phosphate
trichlorophenol
toxin coregulated pilus
telephony control protocol
transmission control protocol
trichloropropane
thermal conversion process
Taiwan Communist party
the clergy project

Yeah, they might make the eggs smell pretty bad. But at least we'd get to the bottom of the issue if that were it.

This is not really an answer to your problem, but I used to dislike eggs cooked in one of the big national restaurant chains that serve breakfast meals. It did not matter which one in our area, but all of their eggs tasted bad. Finally, I realized that it was the oil they were cooked in, since it is probably the same in each of the restaurants. So that might be something to consider. I find that canola oil is the most neutral of oils in which to cook most foods. For eggs, I use real butter.
