This is from a difference in food. If you don’t give your chickens grass and other natural foods and just give them grain their yolks will be pale yellow instead of the deep orange color.
The whites also tend to be thicker and shells harder and sometimes the membrane needs to be cut open
Lol this is also a difference in type of. Chicken laying. The egg.
It’s a variety of things really, but the biggest one is diet. There are a bunch of chicken feeds that include a source high in carotenoids in order to change the color of the yolk.
My father-in-law has chickens that lay a rainbow assortment of egg colors, and their yolks are all deep orange. You’re totally right—it’s diet! They are fed chimken feed, fruits, and other assorted safe-for-chicken treats. I love them.
Thats basically just the shell, I can give you a chicken and turkey egg and ya couldn’t tell a difference
Yep yep! My father-in-law has a ton of different chimkens cuz he wanted rainbow eggshells and they all have the same deep orange colored yolk.
My store eggs come in many different colours, and they also come from farms.
I once read a post saying that yolk color is very easy to control by adding or removing “red” food.
The food itself isn’t necessarily red, but there are certain nutrients that will make the yolk redder. Factory farms can adjust their feed to tailor the yolk color for different markets. pasture raised eggs will very in color seasonally and regionally with what food is available to them.
Kenji did a blind taste testing once with eggs of different colored yolks. The yolk color is based on the feed of the chicken, but from his testing, people didn’t notice a taste difference but did prefer the more orange colored yolk when they could see the egg.
In my experience the yolk color can vary a lot both in store and farm eggs. However, I think there’s often a difference in the white’s consistency. The store bought are usually more runny.
Farm egg is probably fertilized.
I see we need to have the talk…
Makes no difference to yolk color.
Based on your expertise, how probable would you say?
You don’t keep the rooster separated from the hens on a farm. If he can, he will.

It’s called naturally pre-seasoned. The hipster will love it.
