That was $2.50 served hard boiled in an eatery. Not for a raw egg.

Feed doesn’t affect a hen’s egg color. It just is. The “easter egger “chickens I have have been bred to make green or blue eggs.

The reds make brown eggs. The leghorns make white eggs.

White and brown laying chickens we had on the ranch, but I was not aware that there were chickens bred to lay colored eggs-they are cute as a novelty, but I don’t see any other reason to do that-it isn’t going to make a difference in the nutritional value, is it?
