yolk color and americana

[johndeeredman]

Hi, My americana's have recently started laying. I opened some of their eggs sat for breakfast and the yolks were really dark yellow and had that bullseye I read about. I have a roo but he is by himself because he is a white polish and when he was little the hens picked his head feathers. Is there a problem with these eggs? Also, they are only laying light tan eggs. No blue or green. What determines shell color? Food? The color of the bird? I am new at this so forgive all the ?s..

The eggs are fine to eat.

Some Easter Eggers lay brown eggs, sad but true.

Genetics determine the shell color.

Enjoy your eggs! Nothing is as good as fresh eggs!
