What do they feed hens on these days?
When I was a kid all the eggs were white. Now they all brown.
Even the ones I get off the lads over the allotments are brown & I know for a fact they're true free range cos I see them clucking about. Whatever happened to white eggs?
 
Breeds with red earlobes lay brown eggs, breeds with white earlobes lay white eggs. So breed fella.

Well I never knew that Bri, thank you for answering my question.
I've often wondered as I eat a lot of eggs but I've never seen a white one for donkey's years.
I can get blue duck eggs off the allotment lads but it's quite an acquired taste.
They have a very strong flavoured yolk.

I know because I had loads of family living just off cockfield fell so used to help the chicken keepers when I was a kid, one of those quirky things i remember. I like blue eggs and a strong yoke. I like a duck egg too, fill you right up they do, again a rich yolk
