Eggs have "vibes" now? I don't think so...I was brought up on a farm
and never discovered this quality about eggs. Yolks from free range
hens are dark yellow or orange because the hens eat green grass...no
other reason. Exposing chickens to every thing going on their free
range is not healthier than caging birds but you should ask a
veterinarian about that. Some of the vile stuff than chickens eat on
free range might change your mind if you were to observe their habits.
I like eggs but I prefer those that come from healthy chickens fed
proper rations, and raised in comfortable surroundings.
