... off you go then. And don't forget my tea!

  I've noticed my free range (as in only closed up at night) chooks' eggs appear to have very pale yolks     They get a very varied diet and are out most of the day during daylight hours with access to heaps of grass etc.  Any suggestions as to what else I could feed to bring up the colour a bit?  Or is it just the winter cycle.  These girls have not stopped laying at all.  Clever chookies
