> eggs are not white, ever wonder how they get white?
Eggs are white of course. Not all of them, but some are white. There is a small trick. Look at the hen. If the nude round skin patch covering the ears is white; their eggs will be naturally white also. There are a lot of chicken races with this characteristic, Leghorns for example. Marans instead lay dark chocolate eggs
Yolk can be naturally yellow, orange or even green. It depends on the diet of the mother. More diverse the foods, more carothenes and more orange in the yolk. If you feed your chicken fishes the yolk will be greenish (and also fish flavoured with a poor taste, so you shouldn't do this)
> The farm raised salmon is pale and sick looking.
Salmon diet contains carothenes since decades. They just have more (whitish) fat content.
