More or less, yeah.

White eggs are Rooster eggs, which makes them a bit more rare than brown eggs.
The more you know.

It's not the shell color that changes the price, it's the way in which the chickens were raised which changes the price. And yes, eggs from chickens that have a better diet, more freedom/exercise, and less stress actually do taste different and have different nutritional values.

As one example, conventional $1/dozen factory eggs have a strong sulfur smell when cooked but the pasture-raised eggs I get from a local farmer don't have that smell at all. A chicken's diet and lifestyle can change the quality, flavor, and nutrition of an egg more than you might expect.

Because dumbfuck soccer mommytards think they're better for you than white eggs. They are therefore willing to pay a premium. (This is basically the entire business strategy of Whole Foods.)

They noticed that people would be willing to pay more for brown eggs, so they charge more. Simple as that.They could come out with green or blue eggs next week and charge even more. People would happily pay twice as much with the tiniest amount of deceptive marketing. If you want to spend extra money on eggs, get ones from happy chickens. They taste shockingly better.

My landlord raises chickens, and some lay brown eggs and others taste white eggs. They're equally tasty.
The whole thing is a farce.

Here in Australia, most of the eggs you get are brown anyway. From the cheap to expensive brands, the eggs are always brown. Are white eggs just a 'merican thing?

WTF IS THAT REAL

>>17068530
Kind of the same concept as food giants using yellow colors in their advertising, it’s all some sort of voodoo physiological malarkey. My neighbors have chickens and I buy eggs from them and the shells are a mix of white and brown and colors in between. All taste the same and have a nice yolk.

There's two breeds of chickens you retards. One lays brown eggs the other lays white eggs

The brown "organic free-range" eggs at my usual store always taste like fish. I think the farm feeds them rotting fish or fish shit or somehing. Yuck.

Where the fuck do you live that brown eggs cost more than equivalent white eggs from the same brand?

>>17068599
My 1 dollar eggs dont smell at all. Dont let food spoil.

Where's chicken anon that feeds his birds cake

>>17072007
Fishmeal is a relatively common feedstock.

>>17072102
Eggs don't smell like sulfur from spoiling.

In the Netherlands people will pay a third more for brown eggs because we have a warped public perception of white eggs, stemming back to old times when white eggs were associated with bad standards or some shit like that

>>17073178
cont.
most of our white eggs are shipped off to germany if i recall correctly

>>17073178
To be fair, most of the white eggs I've ever had WERE bad quality with very weak shells (a sign of unhealthy chickens).

>Generally, chicken breeds with white ear lobes lay white eggs, whereas chickens with red ear lobes lay brown eggs.

>>17068585
Yes, Roosters normally only produce about one or two eggs in their lifetime

>>17073313
And what about all the chicken breeds that lay blue, green, or pink eggs?

>>17073335
