Contrary to popular belief, "Brown eggs are local eggs, and local eggs are fresh" is pure bunk. It was an ad campaign, and a poor one at that. Why would they want to alienate the white egg farmer?
Here's the scoop on eggs. The color of the chickens ears are what decides the color of the egg. Yes, chickens have ears. Brown eggs come from chickens with red ears. This includes many varities of chickens including New Hampshire Reds, and Rhode Island Reds. White eggs come from chickens with white ears, like Leghorns and Blue Andalusians. Then you have chickens who lay green eggs. Those are Araucanas or a cross called Americanas.
No matter which egg color you choose, they are all eggs, and all taste the same. There is no difference in nutritional value either.
