Fox News: Does the color of an egg's yolk mean anything?
The color of chicken egg yolks varies from pale yellow to dark orange, primarily influenced by the hen's diet. Foods rich in carotenoids, like carrots and leafy greens, lead to darker yolks, which are often perceived as more nutritious. However, commercial farms may artificially enhance yolk color.
Pasture-raised or free-range chickens typically produce eggs with darker yolks due to a more varied diet, while "cage-free" does not guarantee outdoor access. Eggshell color, determined by the hen's breed, does not affect nutritional value.
