What is the difference between a brown egg and a white egg?

I have heard that there is no difference at all except for the outside color. The insides are the same, nutritionally, etc. I know brown eggs are touted to be "more natural" and somehow better, but I don't believe that to be true, from the reading I've done, and the tasting, too!

I'll second Musicajen here.

I used to have some hens myself, and they laid beautiful brown eggs. They were cool to look at, but the flavor was the same as white eggs.

I've read that they are the same nutritionally (it just seems like brown would be better for you, eh?).

Different breeds of hens lay different color eggs. So it just depends on the breed of the hen as to the color of the egg.

Thanks to both of you for your answers, which make sense.

Chickens have ears. If the ears are red, the eggs are brown. If the ears are white, so are the eggs. Only Aricana or Americana chickens are different--each hen lays an egg that is colored. The colors vary from beige to light blue or green. They taste the same too.

Make an omlet with white eggs and make one with brown eggs. The brown eggs omlet will be much flufier........Beatability is the big diference, they beat fluffy. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it
