What is the difference between yellow and white chicken eggs?
The difference between a white egg and a yellow egg is the breed of chicken.
Generally, hens that lay yellow eggs are bigger and eat more, while hens that lay white eggs are smaller and eat less. This is because the composition of the egg varies according to the hen's diet.
Chickens that are free-range and feed on corn and other cereals, such as free-range chicken, produce eggs with a darker yolk, as there is a higher concentration of iron.
Unlike farm chickens that produce yolks with a paler color, as they are fed feed and other types of food.
Do not stop now... There's more after the advertising ;)
It is important to emphasize that the color of the eggs depends exclusively on the breed of the bird, while a canary lays a bluish colored egg, a quail lays a spotted egg.
