I don't know. I raise chickens. The only difference I've been able to determine between darker and lighter yolks are the age of the eggs. Same food for all the birds. If we don't go through the eggs fast enough, they go from orange to yellow. I'm not saying you can't fake it with additives, but the post must be missing something.
- Enginerrrd 5y agoThis is totally correct in my experience also raising chickens. Although, the old eggs from our chickens never got to be as colorless as the store bought.
