How to Darken Egg Yolk Color

[Kim_NC]

Pretty much any vegetables that are green, yellow or orange will produce nice dark egg yolks with rich flavor.

Yup, grass, greens, orange or yellow flowers or squash, even roses, rose hips, basically anything a free range hen would eat, corn helps if they're cooped over winter. Beets and beet greens, kale, cabbage, CHARD is wonderful for you and the leftovers for them.

TNT is a company that makes horse feeds and herbivore feeds, and they make a thing called TNT Chops - alfalfa/timothy chopped. Someone on one of my lists mentioned it.

OMG I bought a batch because the rain and freeze has been limiting the amount of grass/greens growth here. Smells WONDERFUL, I just put it in the coop and they go CRAZY. What they don't eat just becomes part of the litter.

I wouldn't do it regularly it would jack my feed budget but now and then, I'm all over it.

It's been a rotten winter and I've supplemented more than I would normally but I've liked the results in yolk color.

Luck

Feed your chickens wheat germ soaked in a little water. The yolks will turn dark orange.
