Answer 5

Hello Re, The eggs are just laid by different breeds of chickens. Chickens can lay brown eggs ranging in shades from chocolate brown to cream, they can also lay green, blue, and white eggs. All eggs taste the same, and contain the same nutritional value. What is important for the nutritional value is the age of the egg, and what the chicken eats. Double yolked eggs are chicken twins. They can occur no matter what breed, and no matter what egg color. Best wishes, Jamie/RhodeRunner

Answer 6

Check dictionary.com, I believe they are different parts of speech (adjective, verb, etc.), and therefore would be used differently in a sentence (though they have the same basic meaning, you cannot change one out for the other in a sentence).
