Fascinating! Does this lend credence to the difference in purchasing “free range” chickens?

***Fascinating! Does this lend credence to the difference in purchasing “free range” chickens?***

our free range chickens lay eggs with very yellow, almost orange yokes. I've read that professional egg farms feed their chickens a derivative from the marigold, high is saffron, to keep the yokes yellow.

There is a trade off for free range chickens. We loose many to predators.

Absolutely. The flesh of true ‘free range’ chickens is reddish=purple from eating worms.

Be leery of fake ‘free range’ chickens with white meat.
