It's a variety of things really, but the biggest one is diet. There are a bunch of chicken feeds that include a source high in carotenoids in order to change the color of the yolk.

My father-in-law has chickens that lay a rainbow assortment of egg colors, and their yolks are all deep orange. You’re totally right—it’s diet! They are fed chimken feed, fruits, and other assorted safe-for-chicken treats. I love them.
