I always thought egg yolks were yellow. As it turns out, they're orange. Who'd have thought.
Below are the results of a color test that I conducted between eggs from two different sources. Now, usually when folks do a comparison, they compare between a typical store-bought egg versus an organic or pastured egg. Well, this time we're comparing an organic egg to a farm-bought pastured egg. The first egg is from Pete & Gerry's Organic Eggs, which I bought in the grocery store. The second is from
Cricket Creek Farm, which I bought in Vermont last weekend when getting my hunter's ed certification. See the results below.

Blind taste test please.
Blind taste test please. Confirmation bias abounds.
do you know of any eggs you
do you know of any eggs you can buy in a store that don't use vegetarian feed? I buy egglands best organic eggs. they unfortunately use vegetarian feed.

I was just in Italy and they have the orange yolks, first time i saw them, delicious, just like with us, there are two factors that keep us strong, food and movement, you can feed a chicken the best organic food, but without movement....
Our chickens "free ranged" in
Our chickens "free ranged" in the backyard, and had a very deep orange yolk and were yummy! Had a goose that laid deep orange yolked eggs too and were rich in taste. (The gold was in the yolk!) Sure miss my chickens!
