I don't know about where you live, but here in Ontario even the dairy farmers are not allowed to take the milk straight from the cow for their own personal use.

While baking the cakes ect have a richer taste if made with brown eggs.

I just buy what ever is on sale

I'm not sure I really believe there is that much difference in flavour between brown and white eggs - just different hens.

Might be a slight difference in taste, but nutrition wise its the same. There are only a few breeds of chickens (that I remember reading about) that lay brown eggs - the majority lay white eggs. I do know the Rhode Island Reds were one of the brown layers.

And the color eggs - its the breed - not what they feed them - my SIL's chickens all get feed the same kind of food but she has a few of the fancy breeds and they are the blue/green egg layers. The breed is nicknamed "Easter Chickens"

I used to live on a farm when i was a little girl- and man -there is nothing better than farm fresh eggs from your own hens!!!!

I miss those days!!! Store bought ones are just not the same!

We've had black hens and red hens (part Rhode Island Red) and they both laid brown eggs. It's true only white hens lay white eggs.

Tristan (my SO) lives on a farm, his parents breed chickens, they are free range. The colour and size of the egg depends on the age and breed of the chicken. I've had eggs from older chickens, that were really little and white, and they taste just as good as store bought and brown eggs. It doesn't make much of a difference unless you are one of those people that tastes eggs for a living
