There's no real difference in the taste of brown eggs v. white eggs, though I always use brown eggs simply b/c the yolks seem to be harder to break and I prefer my eggs over-easy.

Brown eggs are simply preferred by restaurants because they can find bits of egg shell faster in dishes being made...the brown shell shows up better when lost in the mix.

Why do brown shelled eggs cost more than white shelled eggs?

The cost difference between brown and white eggs is not due to quality; it is primarily related to the breed of the hens that lay them. Brown egg-laying hens are larger and require more feed, space, and care, making the production cost slightly higher. This cost is usually passed on to consumers, resulting in a higher retail price for brown eggs.

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. 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).

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.
