What is the difference betwen brown eggs and white eggs?

white ones are from chicken while the brown ones are from ducks

I dont know the correct answer but I had to read it all to see, I was curious. my inlaws are here and I asked them they said the only difference is the Brown Egg is stronger

Brown eggs and white eggs are exactly the same nutritionally, they come from different types of chickens. Some chicken types lay white eggs, some lay brown eggs, some lay speckled eggs, and there is one type that lays a pale blue egg

well white eggs are of hen where as brown ones are from ducks

i live in australia and i havent seen a white egg yet here all they have are brown eggs and they are cheap and good there bigger also compared to white eggs and yes i do think they taste diffrent

I find it interesting how many respondants to your question have the misguided notion that brown eggs are organic or free-range eggs. This is simply not true. The color of an egg is determined by the species of the bird laying it. The nutritional content of most eggs is pretty much the same. There are organic, farm raised, free range eggs available in both brown and white varieties. It is widely accepted that these eggs are healthier for you because of the organic feed the birds are getting, and the cleanliness of the environment means less risk of salmonilla contamination. They are more costly to feed and to raise, and are therefore ususally more expensive. The availability of each color depends largly upon which region you live in. In Northern New England, where I live, Brown eggs are the norm. We see alot of white eggs only at Easter, (to be used for egg-dyeing). When I lived in the Southern part of the country, there were no brown eggs in the supermarkets at all. Again, bird varieties vary. Some birds are better layers than others. Some have built up a hardy resistance to the cold, while others must have a warmer, milder climate. We have had friends from other parts of the country who had never seen or tasted brown eggs and were appalled and disgusted over them, refusing to eat them. (Needless to say they are not very gracious guests). So Shoreboy, this concludes your little lesson in eggs for the day, leaving me to ponder my own questions....such as... "If I have this much time to dicuss such a meaningless subject in my weekend free time, is it possible that I really have no life?" Now, I have made myself thoroughly depressed, but I hope this information helps you in your quest for truth.

brown eggs are have more taste and few in number and they are costly.White eggs are cheap and you may use them and it saves your pocket.

With eggs, it's just like it is with people. The only difference is the color of the skin. Brown eggs have more pigment in the shells than white ones do.

I could be wrong, but I think the white eggs are from cage hens, and the brown eggs are from free-range hens. Also explains why the brown are more expensive. But they are generally bigger and taste better than cage eggs. Because they're from happier chooks!

has nothing to do with a hen being in a cage or not...smiles looked some info up for ya.....I've had both...I know the yoke is richer The color difference is due to the specific breed of hen, according to the Egg Nutrition Center. Hens with white feathers and white earlobes will lay white eggs, whereas hens with red feathers give us brown eggs in the brown eggs...here's some info... I've had white hens and rhode island red hens the red hens laid brown eggs....I've also had hens that they call easter chickens and they would lay pale colored eggs like green,blue and such ...was odd but interesting

I thought white eggs were just bleached brown eggs. I have always wondered why, then brown ones would be more expensive.

brown eggs are organic that means that the animals are treated way healthier

I was told the cholestorol was lower in the brown eggs. Compared to white eggs by my doctor. I have never eaten a white egg since.

nutrition wise there is absolutely no difference, the different colors come from the breed of the chickens and has nothing to do with if they are caged or free range chickens, however the yorks of a free range chicken will be much darker than those of a caged up one.

brown eggs are natural and have not been bleached white eggs have been bleached brown eggs are more healthy for u

The brown eggs is layed by the pet hens which we usually see in the rural areas where as white eggs are from hen forms.brown eggs are costlier than white eggs because they contain more vitamins

brown eggs r desi eggs n white eggs r from misbreading of hens

one is brown,and another one is white..HAHAHA~~

Well I learned something from this. I always thought white eggs were bleached. I couldn't figure out why they were more expensive.

We have about 40 chickens. There are many breeds that produce brown eggs (like a Rhode Island Red), some produce white eggs (like the White Leghorns) and some product blue and green eggs (like Americanas). There is no taste difference between the brown, white, blue or green. Our chickens are all free range meaning they do not live in a cage. They eat high quality food which produces a harder shell. The mass chicken egg producers have their chickens cramped in cages and eat the cheapest food - this is why the egg shells are so brittle. They are also pumped with growth hormones and antibiotics so the chicken grows faster to become a producer. Once you've had farm fresh eggs you will never go back!
