Why are there different eggshell colors?
The breed of the chicken determines shell color of an egg. Because brown chickens are usually larger and require more food to make an egg, brown eggs cost more than white eggs. In general there is no difference between brown and white eggs, but Oakdell’s Brown Omega-3 specialty egg is different because of added flaxseed, a marine algae, Vitamin E, and because we do not feed any animal by-products to the birds that product these eggs. Some say that these eggs even taste better.
