Please answer me this question

Mine all lay brown eggs, I know there is not difference in nutrition. I never heard about them needing extra care, mine don't. I just like the look..

This issue drives me nuts (already am), but I have people tell me that they don't want brown eggs cause they taste too strong.

I love my eggs and know they are superior to any caged chicken eggs. I'll just shrug and wonder why?

I've had a number of people tell me that only chickens that are free-ranged lay brown eggs - that it's because of their diet. I've tried to educate these people, but it's tough. I've had a couple that only believed it when I showed them my chicken which gets free-ranged (sometimes) which laid a white egg.

Personally, I just like the color variation on brown eggs.

It could also be the part of the country that you live in...
In MA, all we had were brown eggs growing up and there was a humungous campaign about brown eggs being local eggs and local eggs are fresh...
Our traditional chickens are Barred Plymouth Rocks and Rhode Island Reds...who lay BROWN eggs.

I have a friend who won't touch a brown egg with a ten foot pole...I've given up trying to convince her to try my "nasty" brown eggs....she can continue to eat bland grocery store eggs!!

A local guy wants to be regular customer of our eggs. Funny thing was, he said only brown eggs because he does not want any of "those green eggs"; "they creep me out"!

Ok, I wasn't that stupid even when I was a city folk, before I was a crazy chicken person.

What's really scary... Is these people vote!

I think, in my case here, it is that, a lot of the old timers as kids, their parents had chickens that laid brown eggs and therefor they want them now. So I've been told. Also it does depend on your location as well. A friend who came to visit from France was freaked out by our grocery store white eggs. It was so funny of an ordeal to her that she had to take pix to take back home and show her family the "white" eggs..lol Since that happened a few years ago I got into the brown egg business..lol. I'll never forgot how funny that was to us all. lol.. Apparently they sell brown eggs in France in all the stores. Or where she is from anyway. Which is Corscia.

I can still sing it. Heard it for years as a kid here in CT and people still believe it:
"brown eggs are local eggs and local eggs are fresh" It brainwashed thousands of New Englanders in the 70s and 80s! So many people I know still think we can't "grow" white egg laying chickens here in the northeast!
