My Barred Rock Hen seems to have light yellow colored yoks compared to the orange yokes of my other hens. I am putting a egg-laying supplement with marigold in her water but is there any other way I can darken her yolks? She is otherwise healthy and active.
 
If she's the only one, I wouldn't bother. Darker yolks are a sign of healthy yolks, marigolds are just a natural dye to make a yolk look healthy.
Try adding more leafy green to their diet, kale, spinach, dark lettuce etc, for darker, healthier yolks
Thanks I will try that
