Do brown eggs taste better than white ones? Are they more nutritious?

If so, why are they not more popular in grocery stores?

Because the package says roam free eggs, but they're all stuck in one place.

I've heard they are supposed to taste the same as the white ones, but really, I think they taste a lot better. It might just be that they're fresher when we get them?

My understanding is they are identical to white eggs in every way but the color. WHY they cost more, who knows?

People think brown eggs are better. They're often sold from roadside stands and rural residences, both of which convey the idea that the seller is in a better position to know about this than the grocery store is. Then too, the color brown just seems heartier than the white alternative, when it comes to a lot of things edible.

Anyway, that's the explanation I get from people who have raised chickens. Those people will point out that their eggs are going to be fresher than storebought eggs, but that's a different concern.

My brother has chickens. White and brown are the same inside. Some store-bought eggs are thin-shelled, have light yellow yolks and just look less appetizing and healthy. I don't know if they are. I found more double-yolked eggs among my brother's chickens. I like those! 🐓

I used to free range a bunch of various breeds of chickens. Most were of the fighting breed, but not all.

One thing I know is that the color of the yoke on my chickens eggs was much brighter than any store bought chicken eggs.

I can't help but believe it made for a better egg, both taste and nutritional wise.

I was going to tell the tale of the night when I was about 12 and I was at my brother's and he said we were going to have fresh chicken as he grabbed the hatchet, but I don't think it went over well when I told my sisters that story so I think I should stick to egg stories...I don't seem to have any. Just when I lived with him, I'd stop at the coop on the way back from doing the barn chores and get a few eggs for breakfast.
I haven't seen my brother in a long time. He bought a farm a few hours drive from here and since we're both getting on in age, the trip is difficult for him and I don't drive anymore. I was thinking earlier today that I may never see any of my siblings again. It's been 9 years since I last saw any of them.
Oh well, I think of where I'm going and it puts things in perspective. I am on the road to my home in the new Jerusalem.
Good night, Christianity Haven.
