Chickens with green yolk instead of yellow yolk!?

At a farm in Malappuram, kerala, the yolks of eggs laid by chickens are green. That is, the eggs have a green yolk instead of a yolk. The owner of the farm that raises those strange chickens A. K. Shihabuddin posted pictures and a video of the unusual green-eyed eggs on Facebook. It has now received widespread attention. Experts from the kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences university say that the change may be due to the feed given to the chickens or the consumption of other milk. They have also visited the farm and collected their samples for study.
Assistant professor of Poultry Science Dr. S. Shankaralingam reports, “The green color in egg yolk is not caused by any genetic disorder”. The chickens were supplied with feed from the university. Within two weeks of feeding it, the hens have started laying eggs with green yolks. It is not yet confirmed that the feed itself caused the color change. Farm owner Shihabuddin also says that he does not feed the chickens anything special.Since the researchers found the green pigment in the fat deposits of chickens, it must be 'fat soluble'," says Dr. Sankaralingam. He also suggests that the consumption of herbal plants like cittamutti can also cause discoloration.
