Having raised a small flock of chickens for eggs and entertainment, free range chicken eggs are a vibrant golden orange. They run around eating seeds, greens, insects, grubs, hot sprouted chicken feed, oyster shell grits, the occasional small rodent, and the coveted can of sardines. They won’t eat slugs but they will eat cooked chicken.
Sweden and Japan are the only nations with near zero salmonella incidents.
I'm sorry to say blue egg yolks aren't feasible. The basic yolk will be at least somewhat yellow, and adding blue dye through the food will just make it sort of a muddy green.
If you want bright orange yolks in the US, Happyeggs Heritage eggs have them. The shells are blue or brown.
I wonder if chickens would eat throwaway tea leaves…
Very interesting.
Thanks for the heads up! I’ll keep that in mind when I visit Japan later this year.
There are eggs with pale blue shells.

That's really interesting! Those sardines would go quick I imagine
