My hens free-range, and spend virtually all day eating bugs (they LOVE to forage in the woods), and whatever other things they find around the property. They are also provided with layer feed, but they don't eat much of it.
Any time I ever bought truly free range eggs (or got some from FIL), the yolks were a nice, rich orange color.
But mine are pale yellow.
Could there be any reason for this? I thought they just needed some time to let the "good stuff" build up, but they have been eating this way for a couple of months now.
