[QUOTE="Netherfield, post: 8265058, member: 6536"] Back in the day before the EU, Yellow American Maize was 60% of a layers diet, this along with Grass meal did create good yolk colour, even then it depended on the grass quality, early spring grass being the best. Hatching eggs either too small, too large or surplus to requirements were often put in to the catering/baking markets where yolk colour was not so important. We used to get quite a lot from what is now Leeds/Bradford airport, mown regularly so it was nearly all leaf and little stem. Nowadays if you're having the whole batch of food you can have anything up to 16 on the yolk colour scale made to your own wishes. [/QUOTE]
