Contrary to popular belief, the color of a chicken egg does not affect its quality or nutritional value.
However, brown eggs differ from white eggs not only in the color of the shell.
What is the difference between white and brown eggs
White and brown eggs differ not only in color, but also in the thickness of the shell. Brown eggs have a thicker shell. In addition, white eggs have a smoother shell.
However, these differences, like shell color, have no bearing on the quality or nutritional value of the egg.
The color of the shell depends solely on the breed of chicken that laid the egg.
White hens lay white eggs, speckled hens lay brown eggs. There are also breeds with white plumage that lay light brown eggs.
