Dark yolks

[littlledon01]

I was on this platform years ago learning about raising chickens. I got it figured out and haven't been here in years. Lately something new has happened.
Most of my eggs have a dark yolks. They look disgusting. I don't eat them. This has been going on for over a month now. About 75% like this. Has anyone had this happen. When broken they are more yellow inside.

Did you change feed or any husbandry practices (increased free ranging, etc.) a month or so ago? These are factors that can influence yolk color.

More free ranging. I have always let them out some, but more now.

It's possible that they are eating something that is causing the darkened yolks.
