Bright orange marigolds will get you the bright, dark yellow, orange yolk. Xanthophyll, I believe. Marigold petals are used in chicken feed (from AN 102, Colorado State Univ, about 40 years ago).

Speaking from personal experience raising chickens in the last couple of years, bugs, slug eggs, and lots of weeds.
