Doe's their eggs taste different?

All chicken eggs taste the same if they are raised the same. The difference is in the age of store bought eggs, and what they eat, and maybe in how they live. Find a dozen real, fresh farm eggs, and see for yourself.​

commercial, or backyard?

I'm surprised to not see plymouth rocks on the list.

No, the eggs taste the same.
...and not everyone loves them. Here in the rural South, they are viewed with suspicion by the "country people" I know. For them, the best egg is the brown egg.

Colored eggs are a fancy HERE. But remember, there are a lot of people in the world with chickens, or who know about them - who know nothing of BYC.com​

What would you say then...

Of all the ones I've ever raised? For brown eggs, so far it would be barred rocks. For white? Leghorns.

At one time, they would have been. But the proliferation of breeds in recent times has moved them down the list.

They are still ubiquitous and widespread, though. If you count the sexlink hybrid breeds, like Black and Red stars, they remaiin pretty popular.
