All I can get around here is brown eggs. It was very annoying at Easter time. Have you ever tried to dye brown eggs - very tricky. We ended up sponge painting them instead!

Robo410 said:white eggs are best for crepes, angel food cake, cheese omlettes, and homemade mayo . brown eggs are best for waffles, chocolate cakes, brownies, and garbage omlettes. brown eggs are inherently stronger, more durable, and obviously laid by hens that work out at the gym. white eggs are obviously more fashion conscious, especially at Easter, and are fluffier, more frufru...you know, Quiche eggs rather than over easy eggs with a side of BACON!

marmalady said:Ok, Kelly - you want an emotional, sentimental response? I buy brown eggs because they remind me of the wonderful summers I spent on grandma/grandad's farm, where all they had were brown-egg layin' chickens!
Oh - and because some of the goofy, 'exotic' chickens we had on the commune laid brown eggs - and some of 'em laid really pretty robin's egg blue ones!
Michael in FtW said:Geeze - the colour/color of the shell is only related to the breed of the hen that lays it (you can tell what colour/color the shell will be by looking at the colour/color of the hen's ears - it will be the same).
White, brown, blue - any nutritional differences will be what the hen ate - not the color of the egg.
As for cooking properties ... there is no difference based on color.
