I am not sure if I should put this question here or somewhere else, but since it is about food I figure here is a good place to start.
So if I feed my hens stuff with vitamins like Beta-Carotene in it like carrots I know that would make her yolks really orange, so the question is if I do that and then incubate one of those eggs, then wouldn't the developing chick have lots of Beta-Carotene or whatever other vitamins she ingests? What kind of veggies are OK to give to a hen if you plan on incubating her eggs? I figure it sounds alot like prenatal vitamins, I don't want to give my hens anything that would harm a developing chick.
Any thoughts?
