First egg!

So I got my first egg and my hens are 23 weeks old. But the yolk is kind of orange and the eggs you get from a store are usually yellow is orange yolk okay to eat or is it bad?

Orange is just deep yellow and much better than commercial eggs. The intensity of the color of the yolk comes from the diet.

Most people want that dark orange stand up yolk instead of the flat, yellow sickly yolk of a production chicken, yours symbolize a healthy happy chicken.

Okay thank you!

Your post tickled me. That, my friend, is called a beautiful nutritious egg laid by a healthy hen on a proper diet! Congratulations! Once they all get to laying, there are some great recipe threads here.

Once you find out how wonderful your "home grown" eggs are, you'll never want to go back to those pale, watery store eggs again.

Congratulations on getting that first egg

I have a friend who doesn't like the darker color of home grown eggs.....
.....she is well aware that it is a silly thing, but it is what it is, we eat with ours eyes first.
