Brown Eggs v White Eggs?

it is as usual all about money.
Why do brown eggs often cost more?Brown eggs are generally more expensive because the hens that lay them are typically larger and consume more feed. This higher production cost is passed on to the consumer

You are quite right, clg. But the thickness of the shell and the depth of the yolk colour are down to the feed!

Age of the hen also affcts thickness of shell. Elderly hens egg shells get thinner due to calcium depletion, and sometimes they lay shell-less eggs

Oops just dived in as per usual! DAReturns. Just quickly scanned the thread half a sleep.
I later realised it was Sainsburys who are stopping the sale of brown eggs & not the government ( although they probably put the idea in their brains).
Burford’s eggs are the only eggs I like, as they don’t give me chronic indigestion.

It’s cheaper to produce white shelled eggs
