Besides the color, what is the difference between white eggs and brown eggs?

Answer 1

White chickens lay white eggs and red chickens lay brown eggs. Just two different breeds of bird. Nutritionally, the eggs are the same but the egg companies charge more for brown eggs.

Answer 2

Eggcellent question. Besides the color of the outermost layer of eggshell, there is no difference between brown and white eggs. The jingle, "Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh!" is a marketing lie. They're the same nutritionally.

The pigment is developed in the final stages of eggshell production and can be removed by soaking the brown egg in vinegar.

Answer 3

There is no difference at all. You can't get a white egg in an Australian supermarket because customers prefer brown eggs. A friend of mine has some chooks that lay lovely green-shelled eggs and some breeds lay blue eggs. The contents of the egg, however, are identical.

Answer 4

Nothing. Egg farms have selectively breed their chickens to produce solid white eggs because they tend to sell better. Eggs of different colors are just from normal chickens. I have never tasted any difference and find that the colored eggs are a lil bit cheaper.

Answer 5

Absolutely NOTHING, darling! Don't take my word for it, prove it for yourself.

Crack a brown egg into a cup, then crack a white one into another cup. Now look closely at them and YOU tell me the difference? Can't can you! Eggs-actly my point.

The actual color of the contents of the egg will only differ depending on the chickens diet. That's why proper)free range eggs are more orange that those from "battery" chooks and better nutritionally.

Most farm eggs (brown) come from specially bred Isa Brown chooks which have become industry standard

Answer 6

Other than the breed of chicken which determines the color of the eggshell there is no difference in white and brown eggs.

Answer 7

"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."

The difference between brown eggs and white eggs is purely cosmetic; it's just a matter of a baby taking after its mom.
