It makes no difference, they have the same nutritional value, irrespective of the shell colour. If you really want coloured eggs there are 18 chicken breeds that lay coloured eggs (Blue, Green, Olive, Chocolate) here’s a few.
Ameraucana Chicken An Ameraucana is a hybrid breed, a cross between an Araucana and various other breeds, with the intention of producing unique feather patterns and a healthier animal. The breed is far more common than the Araucana and has a distinctive tuft of tail feathers, a pea comb, and even beards! These chickens lay blue eggs (and occasionally green), like the Araucana, and typically lay around 200 eggs per year.
Araucana Chicken The tail-less Araucana chicken, also known as the “rumpless,” was named after the Araucana region in Chile, where the breed is thought to have been developed. They lay up to 200 striking, bright-blue eggs per year. Most chicken breeds that lay blue eggs likely have Araucana in their lineage. They are confidant birds that are fairly mild in temperament and are popular birds for small farms.
Arkansas Blue Chicken The Arkansas Blue is an experimental breed developed at the University of Arkansas. The breed is a cross between a White Leghorn and Araucana and lays blue eggs but is not yet available to the public for purchase. They have a pea comb and yellow legs but have no tufts, muffs, or beards.
Asil Chickens The Asil was developed in Pakistan and India primarily for cockfighting. The breed arrived in the United States in the mid-1800s and became popular due to their beautiful appearance. The breed is fairly aggressive, however, making them difficult to raise. They lay pink to cream-colored eggs, but don’t expect to see many — they only lay around 40-50 eggs per year.
Barnevelder Chicken Named after the Barneveld area of Holland where the breed was developed, the Barnevelder chicken is a popular breed prized for their rich, chocolate-brown-coloured eggs. The breed was developed around 200 years ago by crossing native Dutch breeds with Cochins and Brahmas and are uniquely beautiful birds with black-and-white laced feathering.
Barred Rock Chickens A common backyard chicken breed, the Barred Rock has long been used as a popular meat fowl and laying bird. They are prolific layers, laying around 300 eggs a year, or about four eggs per week, and produce light-pink-coloured eggs. They are beautiful, calm, and docile birds that have been a popular backyard fowl for well over 100 years.
Most of our eggs over here are brown, the colour of the egg is down to the colour of the hen's genetics. We also have blue eggs here which are from a particular breed and the have a rich orange yoke. The taste of the egg is down to the hen not the colour of the egg. Most of your eggs are white because they are cleaned and the cuticle is removed, ours aren't and as a result we don't need to keep them refrigerated because the protective cuticle stays intact.
Two facts I have seen is if you wash or hard boil brown eggs, under neath the brown coating the shells are white. You can actually wipe that brown coating off. Also you are right, if you don't wash that coating off an egg can be good for a month or more. I have heard that eggs you get in a store may have been laid up to a month before.
The brown eggs are better. I have a friend who lives on a farm w/chickens. Every time I visit, he gives me like 3 dozen eggs. They are brown and you would be able to tell the difference. They smell like eggs, but it's an extreme smell. U know the fake eggs that McDonald's uses? Those are fake eggs b/c they don't have time to scramble all that every morning. Well, u know it smells significantly like eggs. But when u get your processed white eggs from the store, it has no smell.
I have never wanted to try brown eggs. They just don't look very appealing to me. I have only had white eggs. If you buy the JUMBO size eggs, chances are you will get two yolks from one egg; I call them twins 🙂
Do you know that under the brown coating of a brown egg is a white egg? Trying rubbing them the next time you hard boil them and they will turn white. I never knew that until I bought some brown eggs at the market and they turned out to be white under the brown coating. I thought we were being scammed and that the brown was just some kind of food dye at first.
Can I tell the difference taste-wise? No. I have done blind taste tests (and A, B, X), and I cannot distinguish them.
But those white eggs from the grocery with the pale yellow yolks that are starting to get runny (because they are a couple weeks old) and their thin, fragile shells (because they have been head blasted, or something) that break when you grip them to crack the shell…I do not like those! Grocery store eggs are kinda gross.
Either one. Lately, whichever ones I can actually afford to buy are the ones I get! As luck would have it, this morning I made an omelette from two brown-shelled eggs and one had a double yolk! I have no idea what that means- I didn't notice any difference in my breakfast.
The eggs are the same on the inside, and only the specific breed of chicken determines the egg shell color. Dark eggs are laid by Rhode Island Reds, Bramas, and Plymouth Rock hens, among others. White shelled eggs are typically layer by White Leghorns, and other white-feathered hens.
I always choose the brown ones (or by size if I'm baking), but they taste exactly the same either way. I lived in Switzerland for a while, and over there, the supermarkets sell eggs (real ones - not chocolate) dyed all different colours:
I’m not racist lol. Idc what color of egg shell they are, they all taste the same to me. And they’re extremely healthy and filling and you can do whatever with them: scrambled, omelette, sunny side up, etc!
I've had both, cooked, I've never been able to tell a difference. But cracked the yolks on the brown eggs have a richer darker color, if that makes sense. It's really easy. To get brown eggs here, most of my state is farm land.
I like fried eggs or scrambled eggs even poached eggs can I get some hash browns too please maybe a chocolate milk English muffin with some butter and honey on it and maybe some Maple sausage to go please
I eat the golden orange yokes from free range chicken eggs. I can tell the difference once I crack one. That putrid weak yellow color lets me know its not a healthy chicken egg.
They say free range, but I don't think many chickens can find enough to eat being free to run around. They all need enough nutrition to lay good eggs. And if they are really "free range" they can lay their eggs anywhere so then how do you find them?
Correction I should have said Pasture raised. There is a difference. Pasture raised has a requirement of I think 100 square feet per chicken. They spend most of their time outdoors foraging for bugs, eating grass and kicken it with each other. There is a NONGMO supplement they are giving as well. Vita farm eggs give a scannable card inside the eggs linking to a video of how the chickens are treated. I will have to wait till I buy another carton to get that link. But you can also go to Vita They are top ranking in the industry. And no I don't work for or have an affiliation with them.
I like the yellow part and hate the egg white part. I go with brown eggs because it tastes really smooth and the ratio of yellow to white seems to be better.
@Daniela1982 I believe that's right. She told me when they varied their diet was when the eggs 🥚 really picked up in flavor. They are SO much better than commercially raised eggs though.
Brown or White eggs I don't care as long as they're jumbo on my bacon egg and cheese bagel for breakfast at local diner they make the best sandwiches Lol
I've tried both and tbh I cannot really tell the difference in taste but I usually buy brown eggs. Once someone told me white eggs are toxic not sure if it's true or not but I always buy brown eggs.
Not prejudice on the color of my eggs! I have eaten duck, goose and other species of eggs in my life. Even made angel food cakes out of goose egg! Was more like a sponge cake.
differences are in the shells. show me someone that says they can tell the difference out of the shell (w/o scientific analysis) and i'll show you a liar.
