White eggs are laid by white chickens, brown eggs by brown chickens. That's it.

You might want to read This before acting like you know what you're talking about.

Before you do, answer this. What colored eggs do my black chickens lay?

Okay. You win the chicken trivia of the month award.

But Thank-you - seriously.

I never knew all of this stuff -
I stand corrected.

Chicken Anatomy

"Each egg takes a twenty-six hour trip down the oviduct.
Twenty of those hours are devoted to shell formation.
Two hours are travel. The egg is colored in the final
two hours before being layed. In some chicken breeds, a
pigment called protoporphyrin is slowly added to the
shell as it travels down the oviduct.

Protoporphyrin is brown colored. Depending on the breed
and the chicken itself, the coating will be light, dark
or somewhere in-between."

But as God is my witness - I thought turkeys could fly.
