Why am I getting Bright yellow yolks??

[pattgal]

ok so I am getting Bright yellow yolks from my marans and my leghorn. My EE's lay a nice orange yolk but they aren't consistent in their laying .
they are all in the same coop. I feed them layer pellets, scratch, and table scraps (whatever the kids didn't eat) and whatever they find on the range.
they are spoiled to death

I heard that corn will darken the yolk but isn't it just supposed to be dark??

The color of the yolk will change with what they eat.

Purina Layeena and Flock raiser give bright yellowy/orange yolks

When my chickens eat greens all day, I get very orange yolks, but now that the greens are gone cuz fall is here, I get yellow yolks from the feed I give them.

Well that would make sense, since I only free range part time when I am home
