Too many folk watching Japanese cooking on youtube

This will affect hen welfare

What they are actually saying is white egg layers have a better feed to egg laying ratio and lay for longer. So are more productive.

My grandfather always said a brown speckled egg was the best

This ^^^

It's why in the US almost all egg supply is white, and you pay a premium for the tan colored ones (which I always thought was humorous, having grown up eating both).

I wouldn't touch any supermarket eggs.

Fortunately, we have a good poultry farm local that supplies fresh eggs.
I have been known to do without rather than buy from a supermarket.

I heard the white egg laying breeds can lay more eggs before going into the moulting stage. The brown egg breeds boasted 300 eggs before this but I heard the white egg breeds could get around 360 eggs before the moult. Having kept a few ISA browns/Warren hens over the years Im amazed they've been beaten. But makes perfect business sense.

Good business sense dressed up as being done for eco reasons which is clever marketing. Apparently the white eggs are also slightly smaller too...

Well im going to buck the trend here

I buy from a local free range producer via an honesty box, but the missus has bought a few boxes lately of Scot-free range large, from Aldi

They are pretty damn lovely.
