Why are brown eggs cheaper?

Answer 1

There actually is no difference between the two. Brown eggs and white eggs just come from different types of chickens. Although, most eggs of chickens who are raised locally have brown eggs and most locally raised chickens have better feed because they are not raised in masses so their eggs will be stronger. Therefore, there really is no difference but brown eggs tend to be stronger (because they are usually locally raised).

Answer 2

They aren't. It usually depends on the breed of chicken: some chickens lay small brown eggs, and some lay large white eggs, or vice-versa. However, the white eggs you see in the store are layed by commercial white leghorn, which are a smaller breed and lay smaller eggs, while most brown eggs in the store are layed by breeds like the Rhode Island Red, which is a larger breed.

Answer 3

It is generally believed that a brown shelled egg is more nutritious but this is not the case, the colour of the shell is irrelevant. A brown shelled egg often weighs heavier and as eggs are graded by weight a small looking brown egg can often come into one of the larger sized categories than a larger looking white egg thus commanding a higher price tag.

Answer 4

It depends on your area. Generally brown eggs are more expensive because chickens that lay brown eggs are usually larger and therefore consume more resources. However if you live in an area were more farmers have brown egg laying chickens than the extra cost to ship in white eggs from other parts of the country (more people want white eggs) than a higher fuel cost will raise the price of white eggs.
