Why foodnetwork????

[farmerChef]

In the new October issue of Foodnetwork magazine, There is a section in the back called "good question". Somebody asked if there was a difference in brown and white eggs. They replied (and I qoute)
....Generally, brown eggs come from red feathered breeds and white eggs come from pale breeds. Brown eggs do tend to be more expensive, however. Most red-feathered chickens grow to a larger size than white ones, so they require more feed and are more costly to raise.

You think they would research this better???

I have already sent them a message with a link to feathersite.com and some breeds to look at....

Ughhh, what a terrible answer!

Are you kidding me?!

They obviously didn't do an ounce of research on this one!

 

[pinkwindsong]

good thing you wrote to them.. they need to give correct information, hope to see a correction in the next issue..

Apparently they don't have google at the food network. Geez!

They are true cause most brown egg layers are not white and most brown egg layers are bigger.

Really.

I wonder what reasoning supposedly causes blue eggs. Oxygen deprivation?

Brown eggs are more expensive because it does take a bit more feed for those types of birds to have good pigment in the eggs. It's not a huge difference though.
