Whats the difference between white eggs and brown ones?

Question

I went to the grocery store and saw brown eggs and white ones. Whats the difference between them? Does anyone know?

Answer 1

Only the colour of the shell.

Answer 2

Nutritionally there is NO difference, its just the color nothing else, everyone makes things up but they are only a different color just like people virtually the same just for color.

Answer 3

Apparently research and stuff said that theres actually no difference.But some people think that brown ones are worse somehow.

Answer 4

no real difference as far as i know. the white eggs come from white chickens the brown come from black/brown chickens. the yolk may be more orange/yellow in the brown ones.

Answer 5

nothing!!!  just colour of the shell.

Answer 6

I think the brown eggs are a little richer. There are eggs that are lower in cholesterol. They come from a european chicken. We had them when

I was a kid. Ours laid green eggs, but there are red ones too. I'm not joking either. The shells were a light green.  

Answer 7

came out of different chicks buts

Answer 8

Besides the color, no difference.  I think they come from different breeds of chickens.

When I was growing up, I was told that brown eggs were local and therefore "fresher", but that was in Massachusetts. Your mileage may vary.

Answer 9

The difference is the breed of chicken that laid the egg. For example: barneveldes lay brown eggs, and leghorns lay white eggs. There is a breed of chicken, araucana, that lays eggs with a blue-green tinge. Some people say brown eggs are more nutritious.  

Answer 10

There is no difference really. White eggs are laid by white chickens and brown eggs are laid by brown chickens. There is no difference in taste or texture
