The color of chicken eggs is determined by two factors - the breed of the hen and her diet. Most often, the determining factor is the breed of chicken.
Details
Yes, Wyandot chickens usually have brown eggs, and Leghorns have white eggs, but there are exceptions.
The saturation of coloring depends on the diet of the chicken. As for the white eggs, it is almost visible, but the brown ones come in different shades - from beige to very dark.
This happens when the bird's diet lacks some amino acids. But it does not affect the nutritional value of the egg, so you should not choose eggs by the color of the shell.
Many people believe that brown eggs are healthier than white eggs, but this is a myth. They do not differ in terms of nutrient content and taste.
