Feeding your chickens egg yolks

[HenOnAJuneBug]

Is that 3 to 6 yolks per chicken or in total?
I don't have any research on this so this is just my considered opinion. I would limit to say 4 yolks per fowl per week. My concern is the high cholesterol. Chickens get heart problems much like humans.

Like just about everything in medical science (they've gotten so many things wrong), the hypothesis that egg cholesterol is damaging to heart health is now being questioned by the scientific community and considered by many to not be true (at least in the US).

I agree, and I eat eggs daily. But the yolks are high in fat, and would certainly increase the fat in their diet. Like too many sunflower seeds.

Science does get things wrong and as new evidence is found it adjusts.
I can't see the common sense approach of moderation being damaging. I can't think of anything taken to excess being healthy.
