Does anyone else think there is something odd about the photo showing a supposedly free range hen laying a white egg rather than a brown egg?

Free ranging hens has nothing to do with egg color. Egg color is determined by breed.

The photo is not odd, but rather proof of White Supremacy that exists throughout the animal kingdom

The color of the egg shell is pretty much determined by the breed, not just what they are eating
Rhode Island Reds will lay brown eggs, and are generally found in New England, and are regionally preferred .
Leghorn breeds will lay only white shelled eggs.
There are other breeds which will lay only blue eggs, which generally are smaller size, again, according to the breed.

Nope. My hens are free-range and lay white eggs. Only occasionally have I ever gotten a brown egg from them.
