It’s not just the colour the overall quality is affected. Shitty chicken feed can reduce the quality of an egg so badly that it becomes difficult to crack it into a pan without breaking the yoke, it’ll even soften the shells and make a fresh egg taste two weeks old.

You are what you eat and by proxy what your food eats.

ALSO: the color of the hen's egg can be determined by the color of its ear! White-eared hens lay white, brown-eyed lay brown, & there are even blue eggs! And yup, their ears are blue!

I’ve noticed a big difference between regular eggs, and “pasture raised”. Thick shells, dark orange yolks, and very rich and creamy tasting.
