Do you know why there are brown eggs? I do

[LegginMF12]

I remember a conversation between my mom and another lady at the store. The other lady believed that all egg started out brown, the browner they were the more germs they had. The stores got rid of the germs by using special refrigerators and Voila! after a while the dirty old brown egg turned white. I must say I wonder if she would leave her eggs in the fridge for a really long time to get rid of more germs? Just where the heck to you get that special fridge and if a chicken lays white eggs does this mean it has some sort of special way to refrigerate them before they lay them?

I was only about 10 at the time but I remember thinking the lady was nuts.

When I was younger, I used to think that chocolate milk came from brown cows. My dad even convinced me that strawberry and banana milk came from red and yellow cows!

We have four kids, two adopted. Our youngest is "obama brown" his words!!
When he saw the brown eggs for the first time he asked if the chickens would be brown like him...
everyone else in the house is noticably different from him

I explained the truth, but he says people who do not eat a certain color egg are "just plain predudice!" yes he says it that way!

LOL, I remember that when I was about 5, I asked one of my friend's moms if she gave her baby chocolate milk. LOL, my friend was a nice brown color. My mom was mortified, my friend's mom thought it was funny, not offended at all.

So the pink eggs come from secretly gay roo's who are laying when no one is watching?

Hey don't think all this comes from city folk.


When selling a couple of my goats, I showed the guys buying them (who did raise other goats and beef cattle, but no chickens) a bright blue egg and a dark Marans egg. The thought the Marans egg was really neat, didn't care so much for the blue one. Then they had a short little conversation about white eggs and how they're actually brown eggs that have been bleached.

Really?


So I showed them my Polish and said, those lay WHITE eggs. No bleaching done.

They didn't say anything after that.
