Caz 25 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Does anyone know what dictates the color of the shell on an egg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tutanic 8 Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Is it something to do with them being free range and able to scratch about in the grit? I know cold tea will stain the shell brown but I think the real brown eggs are to do with feeding. A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

angi 3 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Isn't it something to do with the variety of hen.Brown eggs come from Rhode Island reds and white come from White Leghorns.Other than that I havn't a clue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
