Henergy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 All my girls are fed the same but one of my newer chickens is laying a really pale yolk. My other girls are laying fab bright yolks - what can I do to pep up this one chook ? She's been awkward ever since we've got her - and is still escaping daily !!

Beantree Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's down to diet I think Henergy. If she is escaping perhaps she isn't eating stuff which will colour the yolks. The others are eating your pellets which should have colouring agents in them. Most are permitted chemical dyes labeled as 'yolk enhancers' but some feeds contain natural colouring agents. It might be that your other chicken's yolks are too yellow and this one is natural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
