Kit Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 My older gingernut lays eggs with very yellow yolks and I have noticed that the eggs that my jasmine (legbar hybrid) is very pale. Is this because a) she is young only about 20 weeks b) does not freerange (only started letting them out of wir this weekend) Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I think it's greens that make the yolks more orangey so it could be because she's not freeranging . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Thanks ANH, think I will have to put her out Pale yolks just does not look right anymore! Kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I believe that dark green veg like kale/cabbage/spinach enhances the yolk colour, so give that a try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannablue Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I give my girls spinach and their yolks are gorgeous and yellow/orange...they love it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
