Thailand eggs

[bpadivers]

In Thailand every morning we had fresh eggs. The yolk was very orange. How do I get my hens to have orange yolks?

Let them free range as often as possible. The more greenery they get access to the yellower their yolks become.

You could also try feeding cracked corn to them. I feed a scoop of this a day to my girls and they lay lovely eggs with bright yellow/bordering on orange yolks.

Enjoy the eggs, no matter what colour though

I notice my hens yolks got noticeably yellower when they began to free range this spring. I had been giving them fodder throughout the winter so I attributed the increased yellowness to the one thing they didn't get in the winter.....bugs and worms.
