Brown Eggs vs White Eggs — What's the Difference?

Aside from the egg shell color, there is no nutritional difference between a brown and white egg. Brown and white eggs taste the same, but if you'd like to make your eggs more nutrient-dense, a healthy diet for your hens can increase omega-3 fatty acids.

One of our most popular breeds is the Rhode Island Red. They have earned the adoration of poultry keepers worldwide for their hardiness and reliability. This is one of the best commercial brown egg layers.

Buff Orpingtons are friendly and productive, even in cold weather. Keep in mind that this breed goes broody. Still deciding? View our full catalog of layers.
