What is the difference between white chicken eggs and brown eggs and which are better to buy

1 < p>The color of chicken eggs is determined by two factors – the breed of the laying hen and its diet. Often the determining factor is the breed of chicken.

Details

Yes, Wyandot chickens usually have brown eggs, and Leghorns have white eggs, but there are exceptions.

< p>The saturation of coloring depends on the diet of the chicken. As for the white eggs, this is almost visible, but the brown ones come in different shades – from beige to very dark.

This happens when the bird's diet lacks certain amino acids. But it does not affect the nutritional value of the egg, so you should not choose eggs by the color of the shell.

Many people believe that brown eggs are more useful than white ones, but this is a myth. They do not differ in the content of nutrients and taste qualities.
