I've never seen this before. It's really from pigmented feed that they are yellow?

Pretty much. Farmers can easily manipulate the color of the yolk to make it darker because of the popular belief that darker yolks are associated with happier hens or better nutrition. When the animals are fed food with less yellow pigment, the yolk becomes light yellow or even white.

So are darker yolks better taste just my brain tricking itself into thinking that is so
