#3To save people a pointless click:
In the end, your egg depends on what the chicken eats, and the chicken depends on what the farmer feeds it. So, don’t worry too much about the colour – just enjoy your egg!

#4I have a few ex-battery hens and what I now view as a good egg is one you can crack into a pan of boiling water and it holds together, giving you a perfect poached egg in a couple of minutes. Store bought eggs tend to fall apart in water.

I found that conclusion weirdly dismissive, given how detailed the carotenes and their effect and regional preferences were described. It doesn't do the article justice to summarize it like that.

That's because store bought eggs are not fresh.

#7Very interesting. I alternate between purchasing organic eggs and a variety called the Omega-3 egg; the former having a very bright yellow yolk and latter a deeper orange.
Was always curious if one is ”better” than the other. Interestingly, the omega variety tastes much better.

#8When I moved to Germany five years ago, I was stunned at how intensely orange the yolks were compared to the USA. But now I've noticed the color has significantly mellowed out.
Glad to know that this does not correlate with a decrease in quality.

>> 4. I will vote you down if you 'tl;dr and summarise' any article; We're all grown-ups, and we all know how to read thanks.
