katyhornet Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Hi! I just wondered if anyone has experience of hens laying eggs with very pale yolks? We have kept chickens for 4 years and always fed them layers pellets - yolks have always been golden yellow. Have just bought 3 more (from Omlet!) and yolks are now pale. Its hard to work out if its the new ones or not but am wondering if it may be worms? Diet has not changed and we give grass cuttings and green stuff whenever possible. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I have a silkie cross Coco who lays blue eggs [when she feels like it] and the yolks of her eggs are a lot paler than the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennydavies Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 When our girls first started laying the yolks were very pale. They have been laying now for about two months and the yolks are now very yellow. Ours get "greens" of some sort each day and they also free-range daily.

JS1 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'd worm them with Flubenvet (sp?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
