Unfortunately for the consumer, the terms on egg-cartons (like organic, free-range, cage-free, etc) do not have useful oversight as to how they are applied. This is problematic both for people who have ethical concerns about the lives of the egg-producing chickens, and for people looking to get the best eggs. Turns out, all eggs are not created equal.

Brown Eggs vs White Eggs. Bottom line: Who cares!!
There is absolutely no difference between different colored eggs except the shell. It depends on the breed of chicken that produces them, and the quality of the egg depends on the chicken’s feed and living arrangements.
