We get most of our eggs from friends who raise the hens RIGHT. Their hens are let out to forage all day with Livestock Guardian Dogs looking on. They get sun, vitamin D and eat weeds, seeds & bugs. They’re safely cooped at night. The eggs are tastier, the yolks are far more yellow, to the point of being orange. Grocery store yolks look downright anemic next to them. They taste far better and I understand they are anti-cancer!

Problem is that most cities outlaw chickens to be raised in the backyard. In US we consume over 70 billion eggs per year and 99% are deficient in Vitamin D! Read my comments below!

This is exactly how my daughter in rural Colorado takes care of her hens. And the eggs reflect it as you describe.
