Fried eggs?

Unfortunately it seems like the look and colour of the inside and outside of the egg can be engeneered so we consumers can be fooled into thinking they are better than they are.
People in the UK like brown eggs but the preference down here is for white.

I'd always believed that the colour of the Chicken determined the colour of the Egg, white Chickens produce white Eggs as for gravel I thought every bird needed some to digest it's food. Oh and eggshell is Calcium not 'dirt'

I just googled it and I was absolutely wrong.

I think I'd heard that somewhere, and factory eggs are suspiciously uniform in colour. I always buy the free range 'certified humane' graded ones which are randomly coloured, as one would expect from a natural product.

One of the most common ways to achieve attractive yolk color is give the hens lots of beta caroten😊
What is quite interesting same procedure is applied to chickens, as customers generally prefer darker color

The 'brown egg is better, was on the basis of brown bread/rice is better I believe, and as has been said chicken colour decides egg colour.

But not that of yolk, so even white hen with enough carrot in its diet can provide us with beautiful, deep orange/red yolk 😊

I thought 'corn' (Maize) in the feed helped with darker yolks.

It does indeed just as beta carotene

so... which came first?

 

[Eziemnaik]

Dunno
But if anybody would like a tip for scrambled eggs add salt and some acid into the beaten eggs to encourage coagulation therefore resulting in creamier end result

Whenever passing Mary Tavy PO, always buy a dozen large farm eggs. Little opportunity now...
Even had a double yolk the last lot, first in decades!

@mudsticks has some.

Trouble being the good lady planted them in the wrong soil and they never really took hold.

I love a rich yoked egg. I go for Burford Browns or Blue Auracana. Tescos finest or Clarence Court are always reliable in my opinion. If I'm frying out poaching I always go premium.

struggled to find some that don't spread that watery white all over the pan.

Here’s another way to keep the egg contained...
