Members FORUMHOUSE tell how to fix the egg situation. That's what makes our poultry farmers to produce bright yellow, yolk of the village.

1. Let chickens graze

The color of the yolk give carotenoids, which are found in abundance in the grass, so in the summer, when the chickens are walking in the open pasture, the problems usually does not happen. Depending on what kind of carotenoids contained in the food

When buying eggs with bright orange yolks drew attention to advertising: "As the feed used yellow corn marigold flowers and daisies."

Chopped dried calendula can be added to food, poultry, some of our portal gives the chickens in the winter broth instead of water marigold. Poultry from our website warned: if you give too many chickens calendula, it may turn yellow even protein. Be careful!

4. Do not give the chickens a pumpkin and carrot

Unlike other carotenoids, beta-carotene, which is found in pumpkin and carrot, does not stain yolk orange and reddish colors. Of course, the chickens happy sklyuyut carrots and pumpkin and will be grateful to you with all their heart the chicken, but the yolk will not affect the color.

My mother would add the nettles - the yolk was bright.

An important point: according to the research generated Zooengineering Faculty of ICCA, it is now scientifically proven that the amount of carotene in green plants during the day varies, and quite strongly. Tests were carried out on the green oats, and sainfoin, and it turned out that from six to ten in the morning of the plant contain the highest amount of carotene. Then the amount of carotene is sharply reduced, and in the evening, at 18-20 h, plants contain at six to eight times less carotene!

Nettles gathered in the morning, contains more carotene and better stain yolk.

I used to think that the recommendation to collect in the morning is not straight so very important, and it won both.

7. Chickens fed with hay and TMV

By the way, instead of dried nettle and calendula chickens can be given hay. It is crushed and added to the mash. This will prevent the yolks premium yellowing, but still they are quite bright. Another good remedy for winter feeding chickens - vitamin-grass meal.

In the evening pour the pellets with water, the morning mixed with the feed. The approximate consumption of 100 goals - a bag a month.

8. bred lemmings

According to mineralkaWhite has always chicken egg yolks are bright and have lemmings - bright. But this is a personal observation, not a scientific fact.

However, to deny the influence of hens breed the color of the yolk is hard. In this photo of eggs from the user FORUMHOUSE Gnezdov we see the yolks of different colors, though all the chickens of various breeds feeding equally.

9. Fed chickens gammarus

Rina on the occasion of the winter I bought from gammarus fishermen. Despite the fact that her chickens all winter bezvylazno sat indoors, in the yolk of eggs was bright orange. By the way, because of its high nutritional value, high in vitamins and carotene, gammarus used in poultry breedingAs protein supplement to the feed.

10. Added to the feed sunflower oil

If added to the chicken feed unrefined sunflower oil at the rate of four tablespoons of oil to twenty birds per day, yolk color is intensely yellow or orange-red. And even in winter, the yolks will not lose their brightness.

11. Do not lose a sense of proportion

Orange yolk should still become the main goal, because fancier who loses all sense of proportion and even touch with reality. Therefore comments like, "I also heard about the shrimp" on FORUMHOUSE sternly replied:

Formed a lot of shrimp peelings were fed to quail. After 2-3 days, the eggs were with pink egg yolks. At first I was scared, then I remembered the shrimp.

The history of shrimp confirmed user of our portal a long-standing suspicion - apparently, poultry farms are widely used industrial dyes to color egg yolks. Not the fact that they are necessarily bad, but, says dear Aplicator, color is not always an indicator of "good" eggs, particularly in an era of carotene dyes.
