Or was it the colour of their ear lobes? DanSumption 04-05-2005, 16:47 And blue eggs...?

That would be the Araucana (http://www.araucana.org.uk/) breeds! Poppins, There is no difference in egg quality, they just come from different breeds. As mentioned on a different thread, you can only find brown eggs in English supermarkets. Mainly as a result of this perception of brown being better or more 'natural'! Apparently, the preference in US supermarkets is for white eggs. Have you noticed that either colour is more prominent there? |
