The difference is from the different type of chicken. Brown is more expensive because the hen producing them are not as common. It has nothing to do with being 'organic'; whatever that means.

 

I thought the white eggs were the unfertilized ones cause my family owns a chicken farm that specifically breeds for growing chicks and raised to be put on store shelves. Of ALL the millions of eggs Ive seen, NOT ONE was white. All brown. THeyre tastier than white eggs thats for sure

 

Are you kidding about the taste?

They taste the same to me.

 

im serious, when cooking sunny side up eggs, the brown eggs are thickerfattier if you know what I mean

 

I think the color of the shell is determined by the breed of the hen. From what I've read, the only difference between white and brown eggs is the color - supposedly there is no difference in flavor or nutritional value.

I had a client who had Araucana hens. These hens lay green/blue eggs. She would bring me eggs from time to time, but since I'm not crazy about eggs, I never tried them. They were very pretty though.

A bit off topic, but anyone here fancy (or ever try) balut?

 

Eew, nasty! My wife is Filipina, and her Dad has eaten balut. She said it made her gag just to look at it, and it makes me gag just to think about it, lol.

 

oh balut! lol my family has that sometimes, its really good if you eat it with saltandpepper and some asian herbs ( I dont eat the chicken tho...) If youre lucky, the chicken will smile back at you

 

That's some nasty stuff man. What people will eat... as if there's no food in the world.... blech.

 

I was in the Philippines last week and saw this ..... absolutely disgusting IMHO .... makes me gag just thinking about it

 

what's a balut?
