Seems over the past 3 months, I’ve seen alot more brown eggs in stores vs white. Brown is all that Costco had the other day. Anyone know why or seeing the same? ------------- D17 Series 1 Allis B- 1939 Allis B- 1945 |

| I can't fully answer your question, but when I was a kid, 60 years ago, I raised chickens and sold eggs to the neighbors. The hens I had were Rhode Island Reds, heavy breeds. White leghorns and other lighter breeds were used by commercial producers because they ate less and produced more, but you got a less flavorful egg. I think folks are just discovering brown eggs again. Kind of like heirloom tomatoes have become very popular again, but they are not produced for mass supermarket sale. Just an opinion. |

| Around here there was a shortage. Probably what they could get their hands on to meet the demand. |

| I believe there is more breeds of chickens that lay brown eggs than white. Yet, supermarkets usually have more white eggs. The reason is what Larry in NC said, those breeds eat less and lay more. Brown eggs are usually available, but generally cost more. I'm not sure if that's why, but for some reason we have never bought brown eggs from a store. |

| before the coons and the fox got all of our rhode island red chickys, they always blessed us with brown eggs, they seem to taste better than the whites, and they do better when baking stuff too! now...the reason ya'll are seeing more brown eggs in the stores is the egg producers have found out that people will buy them before buying the white ones. soooooo.....they now are dying the white eggs light brown before shipping them out. i don't know what they are using for the dye but it's coating them pretty good without drips. |

A brown egg layer and a white egg layer side by side raised the same way, with the same food will have the same tasting etc eggs, just different color. Brown eggs evoke a more rural organic farm raised image in the minds of most, and some producers are using it as a feel good healthy to eat egg image and charge more. Organic free range eggs are a different story and vary according to feed including foraged feed, both white and brown. Less production and more work involved so more justifiable cost. I will not buy brown eggs from the store, to many BS artists in the supply chain. I will still eat a brown egg in a heart beat thou cause I love eggs (Tom  ).------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |

| Old gal has chickens laying both brown and white eggs. It don't make any difference which ones she is frying. Both colors stink just the same when she cooks them. There outta be a law against making a guy gag that early in the morning. |

re: they now are dying the white eggs light brown before shipping them out. i
don't know what they are using for the dye but it's coating them pretty
good without drips. 2 serious questions 1) are they labelled as 'dyed' ? 2) when you remove shell , is the inner shell WHITE ?? I see a HUGE, EASY multi million buck lawsuit is 1 is no and 2 is yes !!!! heck, I just got 65 Canucks for a riding mower class action suit..... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| The perception that either brown or white eggs are different solely based on the shell color is plain silly. |

The majority of brown eggs have gone to restaurants in the past, with most restaurants closed, and the run on eggs currently, these brown eggs are now in the retail supply chain. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there.

Free range chicken and eggs are so much better than ones raised in confinement.

White or brown eggs make no difference it's the color of the yolks that will throw a lot of people off. Some people are conditioned to the pale tasteless store/restaurant versions. If they try or see what a real egg looks and tastes they think something is wrong with it. |

| Lars. YES she is well aware my stomach cannot stand the smell of them cooked alone. If she bakes something it's different. Started in the army when the dam cooks served them green. Yes actually green. |

| One of my sons works for 1 of the largest egg producers in the USA. Several years ago the idiots in California passed a law that all eggs sold in California had to come from "free range chickens". The birds could not be in a cage laying eggs. All of a sudden there were no eggs in the stores in California. There were not enough free range eggs to supply California. My son had to go to Arizona and set up a new egg farm that has about 500000 chickens laying eggs all over inside these huge buildings. Everything they lay goes to southern California. |

Thank you for your service Tom. You get an egg pass, you can go straight to the bacon and sausages after you get your flapjacks.  ------------- 1938 B, 79 Dynamark 11/36 6spd, 95 Weed-Eater 16hp, 2010 Bolens 14hp |
