Local Resources Looking for eggs from chickens that are around cats all the time!

Heard feeding cats the yolk reduces their production of the fel d-1 allergen most have issues with.

Purina has a diet that binds the allergen. https://www.purina.ca/pro-plan/cats/liveclear-cat-allergen-reducing-food

The food is expensive and the ingredient that blinds to allergen is chicken eggs from chickens exposed to cats. OP is trying to save money as eggs are cheap.

That's true, but OP didn't say they were aware of this food. It's not widely known.

I've got chickens, I'm confused though. Why do the chickens need to have been around cats?

Supposedly, a chicken living around cats lays eggs that produce something that causes cats to be hypoallergenic. But again, this confuses me. I doubt a chicken’s biology does this by proxy.

Oh that's interesting, I've never heard that before

Are you feeding your cats the eggs? Or trying to grow the eggs into chicken they can eat? Fel d1 is in cat saliva, so the cat needs to eat the chicken, not the human. As someone said, Purina Liveclear has done all that work for you. It makes cats hypoallergenic.
