Not necessarily. Many people associate brown eggs with a more natural or organic diet, but this isn’t always true. Egg quality depends on the animal’s well-being and diet, not on the color of the shell.
Shell Thickness
Brown eggs tend to have thicker shells because the hens that produce them are larger breeds and require more calcium. Although this difference is slight, it can make brown eggs more resistant to breakage.
Market Price
Brown eggs are usually more expensive because the hens that lay them require more feed. This increases the production cost and, consequently, the final price.
