3 hours ago As you can see in the egg yolk color chart bellow, the egg color tends to vary from yellow to orange to shades of red yolk. Not completely red, just yellow with a reddish hue added to it. As long as the eggs have a yolk that is somewhat yellow, then you pretty much have a healthy chicken egg. There is no real best egg yolk color here.

The color of the yolk has very little to do with its nutritional content. Actually, yolk color depends almost entirely on pigments in the food chickens eat. If a hen eats plenty of yellow-orange pigments called xanthophylls, those pigments will make a darker orange egg yolk.

That’s why many cat breeders will add the occasional egg to their cat’s diets to give them shiny coats and keep their claws healthy. Cat food manufacturers add eggs into their cat food formulas, as well as cat treats, to increase the protein percentages and add in the many health benefits.
Your cutie is worth the extra effort. Another serious health benefit to occasionally feeding raw egg yolk to your cat is the fact that the stuff contains phosphorus, calcium, sulfur and protein -- all things that offer a lot of nutritional value to your little one.
