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.
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 store eggs come in many different colours, and they also come from farms.
I miss having chickens and ducks. Not only is the color different, the flavor is richer, and the yolk consistency is thicker and more sticky. The egg shells aren’t paper thin and don’t shatter into the bowl…
I like city life, but miss being able to have fresh eggs from my own animals.
I don’t know where you live, and haven’t taken advantage of it, but farmers markets sometimes have eggs that are likely closer to what you’re missing.
Seattle. The farmers markets here are so insanely priced. Farm to table means 5x pricing.
I’ll have to check the eggs next time. Pasture raised eggs can be pretty damn expensive in the supermarket. I don’t think our farmers market could possibly be double that, but you never know.
I usually only buy fruit, veg, and sometimes cheese and beef. It’s more expensive, but not 5X or even 2X, though it might be close.
It’s absurdly priced, if you ask me. Farm to table is intended to skip the middle man, i.e. supermarkets and shipping… it used to be that you get higher quality and support farms directly at a similar if not lower price. Now, farmers’ markets cater to Pumpkin Spice drinking, puffy-vested people who put up potpourri wreaths for every season. Eggs, fruit, veg, and meats are sold alongside housing window replacements and insurance renewals.
In other words, farmers’ markets in big metros have become co-opted by business. :(
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.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
I have had chickens for years.
You don’t keep the rooster separate from the hens, they fuck.
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.
I see we need to have the talk…
EW A ROOSTER JIZZED IN MY BREAKFAST
It’s called naturally pre-seasoned. The hipster will love it.
