We all have heard about white eggs, brown eggs, but a recent case in Malappuram, Kerala highlighted eggs with a weird appearance.
Yeah,
chickens on a farm in Kerala started laying eggs with green-colored yolks. What’s even weirder is that the poultry
farm owner confirmed that they taste like regular eggs!
Scientists at Kerala, Veterinary and Animal Sciences University conducted a case study to find out the secret behind the green-colored yolk. The scientists believed that it was due to the feed, so they provided feed given by the university to the hens.
Within two weeks, eggs changed color and now the green color of the yolks has completely changed to yellow at his farm. The specimen hen brought to the university also has started to gradually lay yellow-yoked eggs.
Then Shihabudheen revealed that he hadn’t fed anything particular to the hens, but some natural herbs that commonly grow in house yards in Kerala like Kurunthotti (Sida cordifolia, a medicinal herb), and scientists concluded, this can impart color to eggs like this!
What
did you think of these eggs with green yolks? It's quite interesting right …
