The biggest difference between white and brown eggs... is that they're brown instead of white... just a cosmetic difference.

There's absolutely no difference between brown eggs and white eggs except the color.
There is a huge difference between concentration camp eggs and eggs raised in the back yard. I hope Tony Dungy doesn't get offended by the concentration camp analogy.

Brown eggs just come from a different breed of chicken. That's all.
<-- used to raise chickens.

Yeah, what they said. No difference, just from a different breed of chicken. There is a difference between conventional cage-raised chicken eggs and "free-range" organic type eggs, though. That's why they cost two or three times as much.

Brown eggs are from the effect of chocolate feed, and white ones vanilla. Like you couldn't google this n00b!? :)

My parents used to feed me brown eggs all the time. I never saw any difference, except that the brown ones had blood specks in them, and the white ones boiled better.

Me, too.

Once we stopped raising chickens I had a hard time eating store-bought eggs. They tasted like crap compared to eggs I was used.

It ain't an embyo, it's a busted off chunk of meat from the reproductive tract. It's called a bloodspot. If it was an embryo, there's be a whole network of veins attached. When it hit the pan you'd harf.

We actually have chickens that lay blue eggs.
They're called Araucanas.
