What’s the difference between white and brown eggs?

Answered by Egg Farmers of Ontario January 9th, 2020

Answer

Nutritionally, there is no difference between white and brown eggs. The difference lies in the hens: white eggs come from white-feathered hens, while brown eggs come from brown-feathered hens.

Brown eggs tend to be more expensive because brown hens are larger and generally require more feed.
