Absolutely. The yolk's particular shade has nothing to do with the freshness of the egg but is determined primarily by the make-up of the hen's diet. Hens that consume a diet high in greens (likely free range hens) produce eggs with a deep orange yolk. The more yellow the yolk, the more corn the chicken has eaten. Both are perfectly fine eggs to consume.
