    do dark yellow or orange yolks mean they are healthier.

    It's all based on the diet. While they all eat the same pellet it doesn't mean they are all eating they same amount of it. Looks like some are enjoying the garden more than others. That would be my inexperienced explanation.

    do dark yellow or orange yolks mean they are healthier.

    I agree with you, with so many different selections of feed now days I believe is due to the feed now being marketed direct to consumer and not just the farmers. One feed supplier has to make there product stand out over the other. Different ingredients do not mean the product is good or bad but...

    At what ratio would paprika or Chile powder need to be added to create a change? Or better yet what ratio not to exceed? Rough idea 1/2cup paprika to 50lb bag of feed? I could see it now wife starts to cook and says where in the world did the paprika go to.:idunno. :lau

    I have never noticed a flavor change in the eggs, the only thing I ever noticed is, one time the night before we had a loft of ciabatta bread that had whole cloves of garlic in the bread. The next day I gave the chooks the remaining 1/2 loft. Bad idea the next morning as I walked into the coop I...

    I planted a pine tree in the run. Next thing you saw was a bunch of feather balls jumping and eating all the lower pine needles they could reach.

    @GreenMountainEric quick question for you. At what point/time frame do you consider poultry feed to be past it's freshness period? Not liking the dates I've been seeing on the bags recently. Let me add and this is NOT in regards to your products.

    No arguments from me, all depends on what they eat. I think this year I might plant a section of the garden just Marigolds.

    I think you can contribute that nice orange color to the amount of Marigold in the Purina Layer feed.

    do dark yellow or orange yolks mean they are healthier.

    It is all based on what they eat, don't think one is healthier than the other. For example I use to feed a layer feed that had alot of Marigold in it and got really orange color yolks, Marigold is normally found in layer feed. Now I feed an all flock product that does not contain nearly as much...
