Cost of eggs

Same here, eggs are eggs. Brown though. I don't think I've seen white ones.
$0.11 per egg
They have these egg farms in the US where the laying hens live such horrible lives that I try to buy eggs from farms where the chickens aren't piled on top of each other with their beaks cut off. I also like the orange yolks from free range eggs.
I might point out, however, that over here, eggs are eggs. There's no such thing as organic, large, medium, brown, blush pink; eggs are eggs and you get what you get.
Still, at $3.95 for 30, that works out at $0.13 an egg, so who's complaining??:happy::happy:
I bought organic because they were the least expensive out of the brown eggs they had in stock.

The colour of the shell is simply breed specific. I've got 2 girls that lay blue shelled eggs, 1 that lays white and the rest any shade from off-white to medium brown. 2 of the chicks from this year may lay chocolate brown or even dark brown. I've also had green previously as well. It is just the dye their bodies put on the egg as it is lain.

Sadly the colour can also be from their feed. It can come from anything with the dye in it, like a high quantity of corn, through to eating Cape Daisies (south African weed). Even the leaves which my chooks love to eat give them the colour for their yolkes. I've 1 girl that doesn't like them and you can tell by the pale yellow of her yolk. But I guess at least my chooks get the colouring naturally from choosing to eat the plant with the yellow dye in it, rather than it being fed to them as a dye colour in their pellet feed which does happen. :(
