Why be unhappy about that folks? It's Not artificial food coloring. the Natural pigments (carotenoids) found in marigolds, are the Same healthy pigments found in other fruits & veggies.. marigolds contain Beta Carotene & lutein for example. The antioxidants & pigments in marigolds mean healthier chickens, and healthier you. of course.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03915355765911111047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-666021698063529252019-08-25T09:46:54.227-04:002019-08-25T09:46:54.227-04:00Info on where to get dried marigold petals would b...Info on where to get dried marigold petals would be helpfu.Jaseevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226410621829713065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-77291137089513000442019-08-24T23:23:55.181-04:002019-08-24T23:23:55.181-04:00I wonder if there is a taste to marigold fed hens&...I wonder if there is a taste to marigold fed hens' eggs?

What kills me about it is that since orange yolks are thought to be an indication of better health in the hens, instead of improving the health of their hens they fake the egg yolk color! Why not just fix the nutrition of their feed? It's ridiculous!<br /><br />I totally agree....best to just grow it yourself!<br />Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />~LLA Muranohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00827994015402999638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-83723921412921199632017-09-04T12:10:47.338-04:002017-09-04T12:10:47.338-04:00The tow from my chickens tasted the same to me.

What a great and informative post. In all my years of raising chickens I did not realize some producers added things to the feed to deepen the yolk color. Not surprising but still so annoying. I bothers me that the consumer is continually thought of as brainless and we can be fooled by colors so easily. <br />It just goes back to what I have been saying all along. If you want to make sure you are eating the best...raise it yourself!! <br />Thanks for sharing!

The regular Feed chicken eggs, or the Marigold Chicken eggs? Does the Chicken egg thats been fed Marigolds have a richer flavor,texture than regular fed chickens. I don't even bother with store bought chickens, I much rather perfer free range chickens that are happy and healthy that have a variety of food in their diet. I first tasted free range chicken eggs 8yrs ago and immediately tasted that huge difference. Then I was intriduced to Duck eggs. They grew up on the farm and already had little ducklings of their own. So I was introduced to these Duck eggs and also noticed a difference in flavor and texture. I was floored. I was hooked from then on perferring farm fresh eggs, perferring free range eggs. <br />So once your experiment is through please let me know how the taste test went. As you said you can't always go by just looks alone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954891195219609682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8613339135823962078.post-27386378343506171702017-08-28T07:09:07.967-04:002017-08-28T07:09:07.967-04:00nice postnice postlizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035184100892779826noreply@blogger.com
