This isn't necessarily the case.
Free range chickens will produce eggs with varying colour throughout the year.
Some consumers have been told that dark orange equates to healthy / free-range chickens -- so some farmers use colour additives to the feed to adjust the colour of the yolks.
- Ghjklov 7y agoI wonder why that's okay for farmers to do? Let people believe that the color of the yolk is a tell for health and purchase eggs from companies they believe to have good eggs. (To my knowledge, just one example, a lot of the egg yolks I've seen from Japan are typically very orange and are said to be high quality). These farmers using color additives are in effect fooling customers and are presenting a product that isn't what it appears to be.
