I sometimes get white eggs with my delivery from Tesco.Β When I used to go to the shops, I would always look through the boxes for the brown eggs.The main problem with white eggs is when you peel them when hard-boiled as you cannot see the bits of white shell on the white egg.Have spoilt many a salad with bits of crunchy shell in it.πŸ˜€

I wondered if you did pasta. Apparently, it has something to do with the way the eggs are treated in America, but I can't remember now what it was.

As long as you don't get too fanatical (like the little-enders and the big-enders) then do what you fancy. Chacun a son end.

Didn't Gulliver regrettably get involved in this sort of discussion ?

I can't remember either Barsel...I've blocked that memory  πŸ˜‰

Shell colour depends on breed of hen...I think

My late MIL kept chickens when they lived in Scotland...the eggs were divine.

The last eggs my cleaner bought me round were laid that morning.  My scrambled eggs were delicious.  One of them was huge with a double yoke.

It is on my 'to-do' list. Find a farm where I can buy them fresh.

I've gotten so used to brown shells that white look strange now.

Apparently you can tell what colour a hens eggs will be by looking at their ears..who knew???? πŸ“πŸ₯šπŸ‘‚

I think that egg colour depends on what they are fed on.

Vagus, that made me laugh. Visions of people running around the farmyard trying to catch a chicken so you can look at its ears. πŸ€£

Atheist, apparently the feed doesn't has an effect on the shell colour..so I am reliably informed by my friend Google πŸ˜‰

I was always told that what the hens fed on affected the colour of the yolk?

If you want a really deep yellow/orange yolk,go for Clarence Court eggs.

They are great,but not cheap.

Frankly,as long as the yolks are not really a pale yellow, it doesn't really worry me.I use them for scrambled/fried/poached/soft boiled,so supermarket free range standard, is my choice.

I think that I have opened a can of worms here?LOL

I can't stand the taste of eggs that have been stored the wrong way up.

My daughter introduced me to Clarence Court eggs...they are very nice, and responsible for my increased uptake of eggs.

And Sainsbury's will often give me a reduced price with Smart Shop.

White feathered hens lay white eggs.  Brown hens lay brown eggs. 

Some chicken keepers add a harmless dye to the chicken feed to enhance the colour of the yolks

Thank you for BA Gordon. I bet you didn't know this would turn out to be such a long debate about eggs when you asked your question.πŸ˜€
