How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

What are good veggies and fruits to give them to orange up the yolks? 12/16 today.

Squash, sunflower and marigolds are perfect for their darker egg yolks. Peppers, red beets and tomatoes of course will help too.

the green big peppers or any large ones

Great! Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll pick up some extra for them. For fun treats I froze corn in muffin pans with some water. They have so much fun pecking at them and I hope it helps cool them off a bit. Watermelon also - they LOVE it. But I know neither of these will help with yolk color. So I’m glad for the suggestions! Thanks guys!

Now my Sussex has ditched her chicks I'm getting 3 big eggs everyday from my layers - even the heat doesn't seem to put them off which is cool. Both the silkies are broody again so I'm off to pick up some Cream Legbar and Marans today for them!
