How do they get the Omega 3 in special eggs?

The omega-3 fatty acid content of special eggs is achieved by modifying the diet of the hens that lay them. The hens are fed a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that are important for human health. These fatty acids are found in certain plant oils, such as flaxseed oil, and in some fish, such as salmon.

The diet of the hens is carefully controlled to ensure that they receive the right amount of omega-3 fatty acids. This includes monitoring the amount and type of feed they receive, as well as the environmental conditions in which they are kept. The hens are usually kept in a free-range environment and given access to fresh pasture, which helps to ensure that they receive a balanced diet.

The resulting eggs are then enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, which are passed on to the consumer when the eggs are consumed. These eggs are often marketed as "omega-3 enriched" or "heart healthy."
