Misunderstandings between brown eggs and white eggs have torn families apart for generations.  Now it shall be settled.  So what’s the difference between brown eggs and white eggs (other than the color…nice one)?  The Egg Nutrition Board— yes, it’s a real thing— says that there is no difference in taste or nutrition.  Simply, “white shelled eggs are produced by hens with white feathers and white earlobes.  Brown shelled eggs are produced by hens with red feathers and red earlobes.”  What!?  Earlobes!?  Like people earlobes?  Big dangly, droopy, old-people, chicken earlobes? 

I have white earlobes…I would probably lay white eggs.
