Nothing. It's the different breeds of hens that produce different colored eggs. And there is no difference between organic, free-range or barn range. Organic eggs came from hens that ate feed without pesticides and herbicides. Free-range means the hens have full run of the barn with the option of going outside that has been caged off. Barn range means they run around in a large open space of a barn.

The difference is that white eggs come from white chickens and brown eggs come from brown chickens. You think I'm kidding? There are actually different breeds of chickens (just like how there are different breeds of dogs) that lay different colored eggs. The most common breeds of chickens used for egg-laying are the White Leghorn, the Rhode Island Red, and the New Hampshire. White Leghorn chickens are white and lay white eggs. Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire chickens are reddish brown and lay brown or brown-speckled eggs.
Actually, both kinds of eggs start off white. But in the Rhode Island Red and New Hampshire chickens, there is an extra layer of brown coloring on top of the white egg, making it look brown. Nutritionally, there is absolutely no difference between the two types of eggs.

the version is that white eggs come from white chickens and brown eggs come from brown chickens. you imagine i'm kidding? There are actual diverse breeds of chickens (a useless ringer for the way there are diverse breeds of dogs) that lay diverse colored eggs. the most complication-free breeds of chickens used for egg-laying are the White Leghorn, the Rhode Island purple, and the recent Hampshire. White Leghorn chickens are white and lay white eggs. Rhode Island purple and New Hampshire chickens are reddish brown and lay brown or brown-speckled eggs. actual, both kinds of eggs start up off white. yet interior the Rhode Island purple and New Hampshire chickens, there is an extra layer of brown coloring on excellent of the white egg, making it seem brown. Nutritionally, there is easily no distinction between both kinds of eggs.

white eggs came from the chicken raised in a farm just for egg hatchers. The brown egg comes from the free range chicken

"The color difference is due to the specific breed of hen, according to the Egg Nutrition Center. Hens with white feathers and white earlobes will lay white eggs, whereas hens with red feathers and matching-colored earlobes give us brown eggs."
Take Care! :)

Nothing really, some cooks swear by brown eggs.
Most of the large eggs are double yolks if you like to
bake.

There is no difference apart from the color obviously. Different chickens just produce different types of eggs.
