So, even though I may have eaten them and not realized it, say for instance in a restaurant or something, I don't think I have ever purchased brown eggs. I have nothing against them. It just isn't something I go for typically. The grocery store that I go to sometimes was having a big sale on brown eggs....99 per carton, which is pretty good. So, I bought some. Chicken eggs can come in many different colors, but in this country, brown and white are the most common. Have you bought or eaten brown eggs? (I am talking about the shell color of course.)

Years ago I was silly enough that I didn't want brown eggs. Now I know they're supposed to be more nutritious than white eggs.

Actually, they are same nutritionally as far as scientists can tell.They are both good.

The difference in the color is the type of chicken that lays them that's all. I use both from time to time as far as taste or anything there is no difference. Sometimes i have found that the yolk in the brown eggs is darker the in the white eggs that's all.

@snowy22315 Yea, my mother-in-law raised chicken. To start with I thought they would be different also.

@sweetashoney I may have eaten brown eggs when I stayed with my grandparents when I was kid. I can't really remember what kind of eggs they used.

@snowy22315 White eggshells are more fragile and more expensive, I mostly like brown eggs.

@aureliah No, it's just the stores seem to sell more white eggs.

From what I know about chicken eggs, the color of the shell greatly depends on the breed of chicken and what they are eating. My friend feeds his uncooked pasta, cereal and grains and their shells are tan or light brown most of the time. Also the yolks are orange and cook a little firmer than regular white shell eggs (just my experience)

OK, I will have to take a look, when I start using the eggs.

Yes, they even have pastel colored eggs. There is a farm around the Charlottesville area that has chickens that lay many different colors of eggs. It is something they did consciously.

There is not as far as scientists can determine. I was just reading about it. Shell color has to do with the breed of chicken that laid the egg.
