It always does seem to me, that the brown eggs are always tastier, just seem to have a fuller, richer flavor...

My cousin raises some sort of chickens on her farm...their eggs are a pretty blue-green, kind of like Easter eggs...she says, those eggs are tastier than both the white and brown eggs...

Having been raised as a city girl and moved out into the country, I've learned a lot about what real variety there is in the foods we can get and how wonderful that can be. But I was still shocked when I realised just how many colors eggs can come in cause all I was used to was white. I tried goose eggs once, too, and they were spectacular; they had chicken eggs all beat out.

Chickens that are allowed to wander, to eat some bugs and grass, make for better eggs. I have raised hens, and their eggs have rich dark-golden yolks, full of fat. It's the fat that makes them good. Arancaunas are the easter-egg chickens, but I haven't noticed their eggs any better than other chickens who are allowed to do some foraging.

Farm eggs are not standardized, however. You can't crack them into batter, you must crack them into a seperate bowl first. Sometimes you get a "bad egg." Farm eggs are very expensive compared to what you pay in grocery stores--even for the farmer.
