Re: Chicken Feed Marigolds


We raised a few chickens- at one time up to 500 free range layers. They were 
considered 'free-range' in that they weren't in cages; roosts one side, 
laying boxes on the other. In good weather, they had a large out doors pen 
they could scratch about in. When they were outdoors the yolks were quite 
yellow. Indoors, in the winter, the yolks became very pale. In Ottawa, where 
we had our egg route, many folks preferred the paler yolks.
Never heard of marigolds as a yolk enhancer.
