They’re not just white, Both the “Publix” and the “Winn Dixie” grocery stores by my parents house and the ones by my house have White eggs, Brown eggs, and even BLUE eggs! Yes chickens do naturally lay Blue eggs! Check out the link: https://www.google.com/search?q=blue+eggs+chicken So maybe you need to wonder why they dont sell BLUE chickens eggs in your country, and only sell brown and white eggs?
Eggs are generally white. Even when people draw eggs, they use white crayon! I think with the brown eggs, like someone said, maybe it's the type of chicken. However, I heard that brown eggs were healthier because they were cage free? I don't know, lol, I am just confused too haha. I've eaten BOTH white and brown eggs. In the Philippines, they have white eggs as well as Quail eggs and probably more variety of eggs. We also got white DUCK eggs called Balut lol. But that one's harder to eat because it's an ACTUAL duck fetus so it has the feathers and beak already lol. It's like half-way to becoming a duck. It's sad.
We have both white and brown eggs in both Canada and the USA. White eggs are layer by white Leghorn hens & brown eggs are laid by Plymouth Rock and Rhode Island Red hens. And there is several other hen varieties that lay green and blue green eggs which are lower in fat and cholesterol otherwise all eggs are of the same nutritional value.
I think it is called White Leghorn... and they lay white eggs, lol
many people think eggs are "bleached" to make them look nicer but no... they are sanitized because of salmonella and other stuff, and they do that with all eggs alike (mass produced) redbrowns as well
Eggs can come in all kinds of colors in the United States especially around Easter. We also have brown eggs as well & some of those eggs have EB stamped on them as well.
We have both in the USA. White out numbers brown at least 20 to 1. I’m assuming it’s cheaper to raise chickens that lay white eggs then it is to raise chickens that lay brown eggs. It’s the USA, everything boils down to profit.
Different chicken breeds have different egg shell colors. Thumb rule is the color of chicken legs is similar to egg shell color. Green/gray legged chicken have often bright white egg shells sometimes even slightly green, while chicken breeds with yellow or brown legs lie eggs with brown egg shells. There is even Australian breed of chicken who have black blue shimmering feathers and blue legs. These chicken have green/blue eggs.

Like others have said, shell color is just a genetic trait of the breed of chicken producing it. Brown eggs are available in the US but white is much more common. From what I understand, the hens that lay brown eggs are larger and more expensive to feed, so economics probably plays a role in the decision to produce white eggs.
I honestly don't know, I think it depends on the species of chicken they're hatched from, because one of my co-workers raises chickens and his eggs are green.
That's so funny though, because I remember one time my mom took me to Poland, and she brought brown eggs one time and I refused to eat them, 'cuz i thought there was something wrong with them, 'cuz I'd never seen eggs that weren't white before that. I thought they were genetically engineered or something.
There are white eggs, brown eggs, green eggs, etc. It all depends on the bread of chicken they come from. For example Rhode Island Reds lay brown eggs where as White Leghorns, lay white eggs. It's pretty basic stuff.
It's just the type of chicken they come from. But we have both white and brown eggs in stores. I think it's just a coincidence that most of them are white shelled.
While you are correct that different breeds of chickens lay different color eggs, however I assure you that you can buy brown eggs at your local supermarket. When it comes to chicken eggs, they sell white eggs, brown eggs, and at more upscale supermarkets they even sell blue eggs (which are lower in cholesterol) in the USA. They all come from different breeds of chicken.
@CrazyGirl2 dang i want a blue egg. That actually sounds pretty. I knew we sold brown here just not as common to find. But them other colors i never knew existed it was interesting learning that. Thanks.
You’re so welcome sweetie. I thought this might be of interest to you? Maybe perhaps help you try to find some local to you. Here’s a link to “Blue Chicken’s eggs” they are naturally blue, they are not dyed, and from what I understand, they are more healthy because they are lower in cholesterol. Here’s the link: https://www.google.com/search?q=blue+chicken+eggs Good luck finding them @MsPutiton 💋
I know right? When my best friend and roommate, Judy told me about them I didn’t believe her, and so she bought some… They were delicious! But like you I couldn’t believe it until I saw them myself. Good luck and I hope you find some and give them a try, I’m absolutely sure you’ll love them!
white chicken lay more eggs I prefer brown eggs myself for cooking sunny side up or over easy and white eggs for making hardboiled the shell peels off easier
