    Usually white ones went to catering places etc in bulk, brown to the public, but there's been a bit of shortage so it's been mixed up.

    Had this last year, found out white eggs come from white hens, brown eggs from brown hens. The logic you’d expect a 5 year old to come up with, but seems it’s true.

    I have a dream that my one day, we will live in a nation where eggs will not be judged by the color of their shell but by the taste of the yolk.

    Waitrose have stocked White eggs for years- We always buy them as they co-ordinate nicer with my kitchen unlike common old Brahn.

    I tried finding out on some egg forums but they all go off at tangents with irrelevant arguments.

    I vaguely remember something about Brits preferring brown eggs because they thought they were healthier.

    Dark yolk is the holy grail, shell colour is irrelevant to me.
    Although I prefer shells not covered in shite

    I don't think it matters about the colour of the egg yolk. If it's a dark orange it just looks better than a light yellow yolk but taste wise I think they're about the same.

    Farmers use feed with various colouring agents (marigolds are one) to change the colour of the yolk.
