"Do boy chickens lay eggs too?"

[PortageGirl]

LOL, I grew up with brown layers, and even though I am TOTALLY aware that an egg is an egg no matter the color of the shell, I always prefer the brown ones. I think because as a child, brown eggs at home tasted so much better than white eggs at friends or other places, it just sort of stuck in my subconscious. I know it's not true, always knew it really, I learned the 'facts of farm life' early, but it still 'feels' that way to me.

You should of said "Yes they do!". We could of sent him all of our extra roos an just said once they get settled they'll start layin.

Wow!

This is a good one too:
I was talking to this girl from my school. I showed her a picture of me and a chicken.
I said "yeah he was a rooster so I had to give him away.

"
and she's like "haha.. that made me laugh that you called him a rooster."
I said "....You don't know what a rooster is?"
she said "....uh....."
I said "A rooster is a boy chicken....."

How can you NOT know what a rooster is?!?

My wife is a New England girl and she tells me that for many years there was an ad campaign up there that went "brown eggs are local eggs and local eggs are fresh!"

Many of my customers believe the same here in Florida.

I have customers who have kept their own birds in the past that believe brown eggs taste different from white shelled ones. I tell them "only if you're eating the shells otherwise my white egg layers are eating the same feed and pasture that my brown egg layers are."

.....Alan.

I have 3 white egg layers and 1 brown egg layer. They all eat Layena or Flock Raiser, and free range in the same backyard together: The brown-shelled egg's yolks are deeper golden-orangeish - I kid you not!

However, even though I can tell them apart in a bowl before cooking I still can't detect any TASTE difference after they've been cooked.​
