Do you prefer brown or white eggs?

[sage2021]

I have never bought or eaten brown eggs. 🥚
I prefer white eggs 🍳

[Lliam]

I've bought both at the store. There's no difference.

My wife has a friend who raises chickens. She has different kinds. She sells us pasture raised, 100% organic eggs for $6 per dozen. There are ones with white, brown and even light green shells. The yolks are dark gold and amazing.
She doesn't wash off the bloom, either, so the eggs don't have to be refrigerated. We just have to wash them before we use them.

@Lliam
Those eggs sound delicious 😋

I always bought JUMBO white eggs.

But a funny thing happened with my late boyfriend Patrick and these JUMBO eggs.
Sometimes they have double yolks, twins. He had never seen two yolks in eggs before. One morning I was frying them in the frying pan 🍳 and he happened to walk over to the stove and saw them 😆😂 LOL!!
You should have seen the look on his face! 😅😆He kept staring at them and asked me what was wrong with them. I said nothing is wrong with them, they are twins that's all.
He continued to stare at them and said he wasn't sure if he would eat them.

But I finally talked him into eating them and from then on he was fine with them.😅

[Lliam]

LOL. Yeah, We've seen double yolks before.

My sister has chickens that lay green, blue, and brown eggs. Some are just bigger that the others, but I have never noticed any taste difference. I think it may depend on what they eat.

[Lliam]

@Daniela1982. There are different breeds of chickens. Some have different colored eggs, but they all taste the same.
If there is any taste difference, I think you're right, it depends on their diet.

[Dongie]

Far fucking out. I didn't even know what the bloom meant. I bought 30 for 5 bones a few months ago from a Mexican vendor couple. They hadn't been washed. I now know why.

[sage2021]

@Dongie
I haven't heard that expression since the 70's! Are you going hippie on us?😅😆😂

[Dongie]

Hah, I doubt it. I guess I became excited.

[midnightmoon05]

Liam,
We have the same. We also bring food to feed the chickens from our neighbors so we know that they are fed with real food. The owns of these chickens also feed them healthy foods.
Liam… are you able to get eggs all yr round?
Whe the chickens are moching, we had to find other neighbors (they live out further with more chickens and more expensive) to buy from.
We try not to buy from the supermarket.

[Daniela1982]

@midnightmoon05 Chickens usually stop laying eggs when they are molting for winter plumage. When they have finished they start again, but the eggs are usually small at first. Then they start getting bigger.

[Lliam]

@midnightmoon05. When my wife's friend is out, we get some of our eggs from a store in town called California Organics. They are a bit more expensive. And lately they have been low on supply, supposedly because of "bird flu".

When in a pinch, we can get eggs for free from our next door neighbor. She has a variety of chickens and other fowl as pets. Her chicken eggs tend to be small and she sometimes even gives us duck eggs.
When I do impose on her, I always bring a bag of citrus from our trees. She and her mom live together. They're both nice.

[Lliam]

Thanks for the MHO, Sage. :-)

[midnightmoon05]

Thank you Daniela, thank you Liam.

Sage…check out YouTube about how some eggs are explained for their differences.

We can tell by a few things and picked our preferences…
Growing up, my mom only purchased the cheapest eggs.
When we open the eggs, some shells are very very thin.
When the yolks are little yellow, they are only fed with cornmeal.
So we prefer chickens that are fed with a more balanced diet. Yolks are kinda orange and shells are harder and thicker.
Enjoy eggs!

@Daniela1982 The Bluish green eggs are genetically modified to be higher in protein and lower in cholesterol.

[Lliam]

No, bluish green chicken eggs are not genetically modified:

Genetic mutation
A harmless retrovirus caused a genetic mutation in the DNA of chickens, which led to the production of blue eggs. The mutation caused the hen's liver to produce a substance called Oocyanin, which gives the eggs their blue color.

Breeding
The color of a chicken's egg is determined by genetics, and breeding chickens from different colored egg varieties can produce new colors. For example, breeding a brown egged rooster with a blue egg hen can produce olive green eggs.

[LiamS95]

If the chickens are pasture raised, which means they're free range I highly doubt their eggs are organic as you can't control ehst they eat When the neighbor sprays his fields with pesticide it travels for miles on the wind and those pasture raised chickens will ingest it.

[Lliam]

@LiamS95. It depends on where you live.

[LiamS95]

There is no difference other then the breed of chicken they are produced from, tests have shown that both white & brown eggs have the same amount of protein, fat and other nutrutional content.

[sage2021]

@LiamS95
Ok answer man 😄 why are some eggs 🥚 brown and they others are white?

I am talking about the eggs that we buy at the grocery store.

[Daniela1982]

From different chicken breeds. Some just like the brown color. Thing is that color will come off if you wash them in warm water and they will turn white. Sometimes makes me wonder if they are just dyed that so they can get more for white eggs that way.

[LiamS95]

The white eggs sre produced by white hens such as the Leghorn breed , brown eggs are produced by red hens such as the Rhode Island Red breed.

[Daniela1982]

There are also some black and white chickens that lay green and blue eggs. They tend to be smaller than white eggs. Yet when red chickens were a bit younger they sometimes laid jumbo eggs.

[AviatorTom]

The shell color makes no difference. The inside contains a yellow yolk surrounded by the white if the egg.

The shell color depends on the specific type of chicken that lays the egg. It's a physical thing based on the chicken's body and glands.

[Surely]

You better be careful. Someone will call you a racist!!
To me there are no differences. They all come out of the chicken at the same place. Once the shell is removed. They look the same. Some of the coloring might be different. Depending on their diets.
I have eaten duck, geese and chicken eggs. I am still alive!

[sage2021]

@Surrly
Ohhhhh! I'm scared!!!

[Surely]

@sage2021. I can feel you shaking in your boots!

[llorando]

I'm indifferent to egg color, as in my experience brown and white eggs taste pretty much the same. Really the only difference between brown and white eggs are the bread if chicken they come from and their price, brown eggs tend to cost more than white eggs.

[electromagnetic]

No difference to me. They taste the same. Which ever one’s whole foods has on sale are the ones I’m buying that week.

[LadyBecks]

Either one is fine with me - I can't tell the difference

[exitseven]

Brown eggs are local eggs and local eggs are fresh.

[Dongie]

Brown. They're so pretty. I think they taste better even if it's just in my mind.

[Dongie]

They look like little gems.

[IslaTheWitch]

we have all of them... no difference...

[NathanDavis]

redhead eggs...

[HungTexan]

I prefer brown free range eggs.

[Wise4myage]

Makes no difference to me.
