Backyard hens’ eggs contain 40 times more lead on average than shop eggs | Ars Technica

Our newly published research found backyard hens’ eggs contain, on average, more than 40 times the lead levels of commercially produced eggs. Almost one in two hens in our Sydney study had significant lead levels in their blood. Similarly, about half the eggs analyzed contained lead at levels that may pose a health concern for consumers.

This is probelmatic in all cities. Not only in Australia I would say.
