Yolk color has nothing to do with free range or not. Any chicken
farmer can make their chickens produce a desired shade of yolk by
additives in the feed. Typically true free range chickens produce
rather drab colored yolks unless they they are fed a supplimental feed
that contains yellow/orange flower petals. Yolk color has nothing to
do with an egg's nutritional value.

Man that bacon is over half FAT...we have much leaner bacon in Canada.

It may not have anything to do with their nutritional value. I will
leave to those who are qualified to conduct the tests to make that
determination. But about the colour of free range yolks.... my former
neighbours had free range chickens for a while and we used to get eggs
from them. The yolks were dark orange. They were so brightly coloured
that scrambled eggs and omelettes made with them were orange.... to the
point of putting some people a little off.

Thanks, Yes, they tasted just as good, unfortunately, the SO doesn't like
her eggs runny, she likes 'hockey pucks'.

I however, get to enjoy the creamy richness of gooey eggs :-)

And afterwards I'm subjected to a close inspection..... "There's some
yellow on the side of your mouth.... almost gone.... OK, now it's gone, now
you can kiss me"!!!

It's one thing I have never been able to get her to eat in all these years,
runny eggs.

We do? IMO, good side bacon is usually about half fat. I get my bacon
from a Dutch butcher who gets it from the Mennonites in the Kitchener
area. It is incredible bacon. The stuff I see in the supermarket is
usually about 80% fat, and a lot more expensive.

LOL!! I think he has!!

Funny, most chefs can tell you the difference between barn/caged eggs,
and free range, just by cracking them into a bowl and looking at the
colour.

I can tell you for sure that my husband hated the eggs my mother used
to give us. They were very rich tasting and as you said, brightly
colored.

Out of curiosity.... was it the actual taste, or was it the colour?

I think it was more the flavor than the color, although I'm sure color
had something to do with his perception.

I found that a lot of people were turned off by the colour. guess it
just didn't seem right to have an orange omelette or orange scrambled eggs.

Funny how some people get used to the supermarket offerings.

I can't wait to get to our own place and stock up the 'layers' and have a
few meat birds as well.

Then I won't have to play 'lucky dip' with the shop bought free range......
because you never *really* know if they are free range, or not. There have
been soooo many dodgy free range eggs sold in the past that turned out to
be ordinary battery laid eggs.

I just had one sunny side up on top of a spoonful of baked beans. I *love*
the rich creamy flavour of that bright orange yolk!!

That is true. In grade school we went on a field trip to Purina
Farms, and they had eggs with yolks of different colors from chickens
that had been fed naturally derived food colors. High concentrations
of beet extract result in red-orange yolks that are not much different
nutritionally.
There are eggs with better or worse fatty acid profiles, based on what
the chicken is fed.
