Question

What is the difference betwen the white eggs and the brown eggs?

Answer 1

one comes from a white chicken, the other from a brown one.

Answer 2

Brown eggs mean they are from free-range chickens.  It means the chickens don't eat feed, but rather bugs and natural food.  Free-range eggs are richer in flavor and are healthier than white eggs.

Answer 3

The white eggs are racist.

Answer 4

The color of the shell.

The egg's nutrition difference is only affected by the hen's diet and perhaps if the hen is cage-free.

Some varieties of hens will lay different colored eggs even beyond white and brown!

Answer 5

Nothing but the color. One kind of chicken lays brown eggs and another kind lays white.

Answer 6

They are laid by different kinds of chickens.  Most brown eggs are laid by Rhode Island Reds.  Just as a rule of thumb.  Brown chickens lay brown eggs; white chickens lay white eggs.

Answer 7

The color of chicken that produced the egg!

Answer 8

chicken breed ,

the eggs taste the same

Answer 9

The color!

Answer 10

There is one major, MAJOR difference between brown eggs and white eggs.

Brown eggs are brown and white eggs are white.

Does that answer your question?

No? OK then. According to the Egg Nutrition Board (and who should know better?), "White shelled eggs are produced by hens with white feathers and ear lobes. Brown shelled eggs are produced by hens with red feathers and red ear lobes. There is no difference in taste or nutrition between white and brown eggs." The people at Crisco (who may know even more than the egg nutritionists) go further to say, "They simply come from two different breeds of chickens. Brown eggs, however, are more expensive because the chickens that lay them eat more than those that lay white eggs." Among the breeds that lay brown eggs are the Rhode Island Red, the New Hampshire and the Plymouth Rock--all larger birds that require more food.

But Bill Finch of the Mobile Register suggests that brown eggs may have tasted better at one time. He says, "For years, the chickens preferred by commercial growers happened to lay white eggs. A few smart cooks sought out brown eggs because most of the home-reared American flocks, which had access to flavor-enhancing weeds and bugs, happened to lay brown eggs. Commercial egg producers eventually got wise to this. They started raising chickens that laid brown eggs, and charged a premium for them at the store.

"But because the white AND brown grocery-store eggs are the result of the same bland commercial diet, their eggs taste exactly the same. Many people still apparently don't realize they've been duped at their own game."

Answer 11

The inside of the chicken egg is the same regardless of the color of the outside of the egg.

Answer 12

the brown ones are good and the white ones are bad

Answer 13

the color of the egg and the type of chicken that layed it. There are some chickens that lay colored eggs.

Answer 14

The only difference is the color of the shell , nutritionally they are the same.

Answer 15

the chicken

Answer 16

There isn't any difference between the nutritional value of the eggs, only the source from which the eggs came.  I believe white eggs come from white hens while brown eggs come from brown hens.

Answer 17

The Color change is becuase of what type of feed the farmer or carer of the animal gives it.

Answer 18

The amount of fecal matter on the eggshell

Answer 19

nothing really in all depands on what the farmer feeds the chicken...thats what i've heard

Answer 20

not really alot. The "yard egg" is usually brown.

Answer 21

Only the shell colour which is determined by the breed of hen not the food eaten.
