Dark yolks and firm whites is what you look for in eggs.

Im a fan of fried eggs personally.

I grew up eating brown eggs, the white ones taste funny. Like too much sulfur in them or something.

Someone who raised chickens told me the same thing, said that darker (more orange) indicated a more natural diet, including foraging for insects.

It's hard to find real free-range eggs in this area. Foxes, coyotes, etc, are a problem; an enclosure is necessary. "So just use a tractor!" Tractor works until you get a certain number of birds, in which case I guess you need multiple tractors or a fully-enclosed yard, too much work for a sideline business. So the backyard guys with enough birds to sell eggs end up using static coops, and the eggs don't look much different from store-bought. But, still nice to know exactly where your food is coming from.

*yolks don't look much different

>>14346743
There is literally no difference

>>14346814
probably because you bought yours at the store instead of letting the chickens run around the yard and eat a bug or two. We typically had 24 hens on hand at any time when I was growing up.

>>14346866
You think you're better than me?

>>14346866
Haha no. We had free range chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Chicken eggs ranging from green to blue to brown to white. None of them taste different. They don't even taste different store bought. Free range might be healthier but in a blind taste test you would never ever tell the difference. The only real difference you'll notice is when eat eggs from a turkey or duck. Basically you fell for a marketing scam about the color of eggshells

>>14346886
We're just going to have to agree to disagree. I do want to try blue chicken eggs though. I don't care for duck eggs. Never tried goose. Had a quail egg at a sushi bar once. "Delicate" my ass, rather eat my own snot. It's cool that you got to grow up knowing where your food comes from though.

>>14346898
I will not be agreeable. You're a nigger and my experiences and thoughts are superior to yours

>>14346903

...aaaaand SCENE! Great job guys, see you at the after party.

>>14346903
That attitude is precisely what makes you ignorant.

>>14346886
>no different in store bought

How long has it been since you ventured out to the range and took an egg home to eat..

>>14346115
tfw you'll never have good eggs like japan

>>14346115
Whichever's cheapest, probably the egg in the middle. Color has no impact on taste.

>Color has no impact on taste.
We're not talking about artificial food coloring here. Different color means different composition which means different nutrition and possibly a different flavor.

>>14346115
they are all the same except the darker ones have more beta carotene.

>>14346120
what your mamma said.

>>14346743
>the white ones taste funny.
no difference in taste.

>>14346795
>said that darker (more orange) indicated a more natural diet,
wrong

>>14347785
>Different color means different composition which means different nutrition and possibly a different flavor.
again this patently false.

every couple of weeks we have this thread.

egg producers in every country (and even in local regions) carefully control the diet of their chickens in order to get the color of eggs that, that local expects. they do this by adding or limiting the amount of beta carotene in the chicken feed. THAT'S IT THAT'S ALL!

In some countries they expect blood red eggs, in other countries everyone things a yellow or orange egg is a sign of icky chemicals and won't eat them so they make egg yolks that are almost white.

here in the US people expect yellow to orange and that's what they get.

I personally have had eggs produced by my brother who fed his chickens feed, let them eat bugs in the yard, and carrot peels (on my request) we got dark orange yolks. then I compared those to store bought eggs. There was almost no discernible difference in taste.

Don't give me the ol' "you have no sense of taste" you don't know me.

That attitude is precisely what makes you superior

>>14346903
this attitude is precise

>>14346115
>>14346120
I prefer mine medium brown.

>>14346120
This.
