If you asked most people what color egg yolks are , they would belike answer chicken .

Yolks have always been connect with the colour yellow , which is unfortunate because backyard chicken custodian sleep together better .

In an unscientific habitation experiment , I equate my pasture - foraging , insect - pecking , soil - scrape , whole grain - feedingchickens ’ yolks to the yolks of both their “ free - ranging ” and factory - farmed counterparts .

The result were clearly seeable : yolk from my homegrown eggs were not only darker , but also wide and slurred . Even the eggshells were denser and harder to check .

But what ’s the big mountain about orange yolks ?

Turns out that besides being a coveted color , orange yolks can be an denotation of a well balanced and extremely alimental diet .

The garbage we ’ve been feeding them are from a Formosan buffet . The birds love it . Noodles and fried rice and morsel of vegetables and lots of cooked gist . We do n’t even have to feast them a regular chicken feed ration anymore . I throw them some unripened leave from the garden when I ’m out there , but they ’re mostly living on Chinese food now .

There ’s usually enough to feed both the crybaby and the pigs , though not always . If we can oversee to get more from another electrical outlet , we could likely quash buying any provender at all .

I ’m just going to stick to the “ high sustenance ” explanation for the rich orangeness yolks , otherwise I might suspect the weirdly red sweet - and - sour sauce .

Nope . It ’s definitely the gamy nutrition .
