You are quite right, clg. But the thickness of the shell and the depth of the yolk colour are down to the feed!

I thought that different varieties of chickens lay differing coloured eggs. Have I had this wrong all of my life?

I can remember as a child the best 6 eggs competition held at Delabole Fete, and looking in wonder at all the colours and speckles. Everyone of them produced by happy totally free range organic hens. In fact you might find yourself wandering amongst them on various walks etc.

Sainsbury will stop selling brown eggs as it's claimed they have a higher carbon footprint.

Other supermarkets have declared they will still give the customer a choice.

I prefer brown because white shells have always seemed more delicate. Or maybe it's a figment of imagination, but I hope I'll still be able to choose.
