Why do some chickens lay white eggs while others lay brown or green?

The colour of the chickens egg shell is determined by the breed of the chicken and genetics. The application of pigment is either as the shell is forming in the hens oviduct or after it has formed and passes down the oviduct. In the case of breeds such as Araucana the pigment is called oocyanin and is secreted from a bile duct early in the shell production making it one of the only breeds to have colour all the way through the shell therefore being the same colour inside and out. Most eggs start out white and those brown shelled eggs are a result of a pigment called Protoporphyrin and deposited over the white shell late in the formation of the shell...Open a brown egg...the inside is always white. A variety of shell colours are being produced by Araucana chickens crossed with various other breeds, shell colours like Blue, blue/green, olive ( blue and dark brown) and Antique gold (blue/green and pastel rose). Shell colour makes no difference in the nutritional value of the egg nor do the green shelled eggs contain less cholesterol as is widely rumored.

How do you dye brown eggs?

Brown eggs will dye just like any other color of egg. Brown chicken egg shells are a bit thicker and sometimes glossier. They take longer to dye, and thus may need a longer soak in vinegar rinse prior to dyeing. The colors will look quite different as well. Brown eggs cannot be made white unless you "etch" the shell using vinegar. Brown eggs are quite lovely, and look nice with colors such as yellow, orange, brick, brown, and black.
