brown eggs or white eggs

I don't have a preference for eggs either. The brown and the white ones are the same egg. The white ones just come from chickens with white feathers, and the brown ones from the ones with brown feathers.

I buy organic eggs and they're usually brown. I don't have a preference on the color of the eggs but I buy organic eggs because the chickens in large commercial egg operations are treated so poorly. Organically produced free range chickens are given room to move and run around.

Commercially produced eggs come from chickens given 56 square <b>inches</b> of floor space in the cage. You know how big a chicken is, so I just think that giving a chicken 7" x 8" is neither healthy for the chicken nor me.

So I buy organic free-range eggs.

We don't have brown eggs here in our place so I only get the white ones. I really don't know if it's organic or not.

I love eggs, but for some reason I am kind of grossed out by brown eggs. I have been that way since I have been a little kid. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to notice if I don't see the shell beforehand, but I definitely cannot make anything with brown eggs knowingly. It's strange, I know.

I don't think it would really matter for me. But on our side of the world, what usually is readily available are the white eggs and I have no complains about them. Their still healthy and tasty!
