My white leghorn just started laying (her 3rd egg was today).
What I noticed is that the yoke is much lighter in color than my other hens, all of whom lay brown eggs.
The yoke looks like something in a store bought egg. Not that rich, deep golden color I get from my other girls.
They all are pasture raised.
Is this normal or is she lacking nutrition?
Honestly, until 3 days ago I thought she was a young cockerel. She and two of her "roommates" are fed grower crumble. The other two are not laying".
