Pale yolk?

[piphens7]

All our eggs are lovely, however the odd egg has a very pale yolk, not sure which hen it belongs to either. Is this something to worry about? They have access to layer pellets all day & free range & treats.....

Completely normal. Yolk color is based on what they eat. More greens means a deeper darker looking yolk. That one just seems to prefer bugs to grass.

Thanks that's helpful .

Also, I have had my younger pullet's egg yolks be very light until their systems regulated ( about 4-5 weeks), then they matched the rest with very nice orangey-yellow yolks.

Thanks again, they only started laying not long ago, & maybe not all did. They taste pretty good so no complaints lol

I recently bought some turkens. They don't quite know what's up with the greens and fruits. I suspect it was one of them that laid the yellow yolk. Usually my eggs have bright orange yolks. Glad to know it could be a diet thing.
