What's Up With The Strange Colors ?

Egg color is strictly dependent upon breed, all eggs are start exactly the same way the color is simply added in the last step. Egg color has absolutely no affect on taste, and hens whom lay blue eggs simply have a gene that the color comes out more blue than brown.
Why don’t I see colored eggs in the store then ?
Commercial egg mega farms produce more than 90% of all US consumer Eggs, the breed they use almost exclusively lay white eggs (Leghorn) and have been selectively breed to lay 7 eggs a week for more than two years. These farms can run on margins that no normal farm could and consistently undercut other producers that is why white eggs are ALWAYS cheaper than any other color.
Brown egg layers are not as prolific laying about 6 eggs a week on average while breeds that lay blue, green and even pink only average 3-5 eggs per week. So for commercial mega farms its an obvious choice.
In the end however, we just feel there’s something special about our little rainbow packages of eggs, and we think you will too.

Megan Pulaski –
I have had both the chicken and duck eggs, and both were INCREDIBLE! I had never had duck eggs, so Sandra gave me suggestions on how to cook them and they turned out perfectly. I always love seeing what assortment they have at the farmer’s market and can’t wait to try the other varieties! I will absolutely be a lifelong customer.
