No, the colour and the size of the egg are not related. Breed determines the size and contents of an egg, not the color. Smaller chickens tend to lay smaller eggs, and the colour depends on the colour of the hen's ear-flap.

Why eggs are brown?
It depends on the breed of the chicken. It is a genetic trait. A rule of thumb is to look at the earlobe of the chicken, and that is roughly what the eggs will look like. The White Leghorn breed lays most of the white eggs. The brown eggs come from the Rhode Island Red, the New Hampshire and the Plymouth Rock. The reason brown eggs cost more is because the hens are a little bigger and tend to need more care. Plus there is the urban legend saying they are healthier, so naturally, stores will charge more since more people want them. Brown eggs are not any healthier than white eggs. Egg colors are not limited to white and brown. There are also blue and speckled eggs, though they are hard to find in stores. Those come from the Aracuna breed.
Is white or brown eggs stronger?
The eggs structures are completely the same. The color of each egg varies due to the breed of the hen that hatched it.
What age do brown chickens lay eggs?
Chickens, whether the chicken is brown, white, blue, red or, or... all start laying eggs when they are mature enough to do so. The average age for chickens to start laying eggs is 5-6 months of age. You will notice the wattle and comb begin to appear more red than pink as they become more developed and distinct. This is an indicator that the young hen is about ready to start laying. And brown chickens don't necessarily lay brown eggs. It's a common misconception. Brown Leghorns, for example, lay white eggs just as their white colored counterparts do. The color of egg the chicken will lay coincides with the color of the earlobe. A white earlobe = white eggs. Colored earlobe = brown or tinted eggs. Hope this helped!
Why are brown eggs cheaper?
There actually is no difference between the two. Brown eggs and white eggs just come from different types of chickens.

Therefore, there really is no difference but brown eggs tend to be stronger (because they are usually locally raised).
