Primrose Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I have three chickens and Saffron our Bovan Goldline has just starting laying. We have had four eggs in four days. (2 egg mayonaisse sarnies for school and 2 fried for tea) However the yolk seems very pale. Is this expected from the first few eggs. I am a keen garderner too - any ideas on how to keep them out of my raised beds Thanks Saffron - Bovan Goldline Daisy - Speckled Star Bluebell - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Lots of greens will darken the yolks, if they are on woodchips then bung some dandilions/cabbage etc.. in every day, if your run is on grass I expect the yolks will darken in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
