Grade AAA. Our first eggs ever from blue green egg (Americuna) were best I ever had. Enjoy.

Fred's Hens :

Orange yolks can also be achieved through feeding certain foods that "dye" the yolk.

But yes, the orange yolk is a trademark of a happy, well fed hen.

Huh, what foods dye the yolk? Could be fun to try.​

These were the eggs that convinced me to get chickens. The one on the right was a store egg and the one on the left was an egg I got from a neighbor who later sold her chickens. I took one look at the two of them on the skillet and decided right then and there that I was going to have my own chickens.
