Green Feeds Better Eggs Say Ohio State University
The Poultry Department at Ohio State University reports that rich golden yolks are preferred by markets, but green range feed is scarce in winter making December and January non productive for such eggs. Winter feeds like yellow corn with clipped alfalfa or sprouted oats color the yolk, while stemmy alfalfa clover fails. Alfalfa and clover sweepings from the hay mow make good poultry feed. An Ohio Egg Show was held during Farmers' Week at Columbus to showcase this color and quality.
