Why are our eggs more yellow than commercial eggs? I’m pretty sure it’s the varied diet of our hens. Every morning they receive their ration of multi-grain scratch, quail feed & sunflower seeds. Now that we’re working in the yard & garden again, there’s a steady supply of cuttings, kale is their favorite. And for dessert, “mushroom” compost. The compost heap in the chicken yard has developed a distinctive profile as the hens peck their way in from the perimeter.
