ashjc Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi guys quick question here I have two hens. Both fed the same but one lays a darker yellow yolk than the other.. is this because they are different breeds or should the yolks be of similar colour when fed the same foods? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Yolk colour does vary with what they are fed, but it also varies from hen to hen. Giving them lots of greens makes their yolks lovely and golden, mine love spinach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashjc Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Will do.... they get grass every evening but they are fussy chooks... they wont eat any greens that are not par boiled lol... tried em with cabbage, broccolli..etc. I will try them with spinich, didnt think of that one They are fed better than us!

sjp Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 mine seem to keep decimating my potato plants... mine have about 6 that they keep stripping the leaves off and I bet they are varieties that I can't afford to loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
