Mine are pretty orange too and I love it! The girls aren't getting many bugs here because it's winter, but they probably get a fair bit of protein in their mash I expect. (And definitely no access to marigolds. )

the eggs shown look delicious! I love those dark yellow-orangey yolks.

Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date! Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain!

They were scrummy! droolin Those were our first ever eggs so the whole finding/cooking/eating was a bit of a special thing for us.

I figured that meant they were good fresh eggs from well fed chickens. Ours are a lot darker than store bought. Not as dark as the previous picture though.

Oh that just makes me so hungry. I have just started to get eggs from one of my 3 birds, and I have to say the best tasting eggs I have ever eaten.
