    No preference.  The white ones cost a bit less so that's what I buy unless browns have a much further out expiration.

    An egg is an egg is an egg - no matter its shell color (some duck eggs are green).   One can also tint the color of an egg shell by the type of feed given to the chicken.

      Thanks! Oh, by the way, choose wisely: brown eggs or white eggs? (You and I really have to stop ignoring each other like this. Grrrrrrr.)

    Since white eggs are cheaper, I always choose white eggs when egging someone's house or car..  (But so as not to get into a recognizable pattern, I occasionally mix in a few brown eggs).



    (is that what you wanted to hear?)

     *On the telephone:
    ”Hello, is this the 911 operator? Thank you. Listen, my name is Randy D, and I’m the one who’s been calling about my house and car getting egged all the time. Well, I have an update! A suspect has identified himself . . .”

    911 dispatcher:  *sigh* We’ll send someone over to talk to Livvie, again!  Wait, what?  Did I just hear you say Shuhak?  This is a new one for me.

      “They probably work in conjunction with each other, operator. Would it be possible to arrange for both of them to be picked up and taken in for questioning? I’ll sign a complaint in order for charges to be filed! Just make sure to keep them separate at all times, don’t give them a chance to cook up a story! Whether alone or together, these two are slippery! Grrrrrrrr.”

     Oh, so you like the brown ones, do you? Interesting. Very, very interesting.
      I’ll make a note of it and move your name up in the rotation. (Wink, wink.)

    That's what my daughter raises, but she gets different colored eggs. This post was edited by Element 99 at January 26, 2024 5:54 PM MST

    The ones I buy are white-shelled. When my daughter gives me some (she raises hens) the shell colors vary from brown to white to green. They are all the same on the inside.

    I’ll go with the white eggs.  *cracks one open*  Hey!  I thought the egg white was supposed to be white!  Oh well.  I’ll just throw it in there anyway.  If the guests don’t like it they don’t have to eat it.

      *On the phone:

      “Hello, Health Department? This is Randy D again calling with another complaint . . . what’s that? Do I know I have been told never to call here again? Yes, I seem to vaguely remember a court hearing and injunction order, it’s all fuzzy because I have so many such cases filed on me all the time, but this is urgent! Wait, don’t hang up on me! It’s different this time, hello? Oh, you’re still there, good. Listen I’m not calling about Vegemite, avocados or mayonnaise, this time it’s against Livvie the Evvil One . . . ! Hello? Hello, Health Department? Is anyone there? Hello? I think we’ve been accidentally disconnected. Grrrrrrrrrr.”

    White ones are cheaper at the store. There is no difference in taste at the store. So white. 

    From the farm is better than the store.

    Care factor=0. They're the same on the inside, who eats the shell?
    Barn laid or free range, I'm not a fan of battery farming.
