Welcome to BYC.
The increased intake in Carotenoids via the plant material is contributing to the darkening of your flock's yolks.
I would, though, caution against relying solely on forage to support your flock even at this time of heavy plant growth - the modern bird and current forage available to most folks combine to make a poor outcome in the long-term - supplementing by providing feed for the birds to take as needed/wanted will assure that your birds are not left wanting at any point if/when they find the forage to be insufficient for their needs.

Our EE's prefer forage to food and we have quite dark yolks too. We did a taste comparison on saturday with one of our eggs (all day forage with grain in hutch) and one of my father in laws 2hr evening forage) his yolks are much lighter and both texture and flavor of our eggs was better! Enjoy your dark yolks!!
