Everyone knows brown eggs are more natural than white eggs right? Except that's not true. In reality there is zero difference because it's just a genetic variation. Listen in to learn more!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chapter 2: Why do chicken eggs have different colors?
Hey, and welcome to The Short Stuff. I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and we're about to take you on a ride through a chicken's oviduct at some point in this episode. And why we're doing that is to explain why chicken eggs have different colors in some cases. And we're going to get really into the weeds on it, and it's going to be great.
That's right. And for this episode, we're going to pretend that eggs are not super expensive. Because we're going to talk about buying eggs and stuff like that. Right. And that's just a fact of life. Eggs are really expensive right now. So let's just put that to the side for a moment.
Well, we also have to presume that you can even find the eggs to buy.
Yeah, that's a solid point. This came about because I just went on our annual, fifth annual rather, Frigid Fiesta, which is my buddies and I try to get together and go to my camp on the coldest, one of the coldest days of the year. I make an MVC, Most Valuable Camper trophy. I earned that trophy for the first time this year. I'm very proud to say.
Congratulations. Wow.
Thank you.
What did you do to earn it?

Chapter 3: Is there a nutritional difference between brown and white eggs?
I sous-vided some Wagyu steaks. I provided the camp. I think it finally dawned on everyone that that was kind of a big deal. I, you know, I partied in just the right way to impress everybody. Nice. And, you know, some other things. And that's generally how you win it. You kind of go above and beyond. And my comedy was on point. I was just on fire with the jokes. Wow. And DJing.
Like, yeah, I kind of had it in the bag. But... Long way of saying my buddy Justin, whom you know from London, England, who raises chickens, he always supplies the eggs. And he showed up with some olive eggs, some brown speckled eggs, a couple of sort of light tan eggs. And I just started wondering about it.
And now I know, and I told Justin the deal as well, why his chickens are making different eggs. Did he want to know that? Yeah, he was very curious.
Okay, good. Well, Chuck, one of the things that I think immediately pops up that we can't possibly get past without mentioning first is that regardless of the color of the eggs, I really hope this is true. One is not necessarily more nutritious than the other.
No, those brown eggs, you gotta get those brown eggs. They're natural, Josh. They don't bleach them.
You're thinking of rice or flour. Oh. Non-brown chicken eggs are not bleached. That is not true. That would be a really bad thing to do to an egg. The white eggs that you see that make up the vast majority of the eggs that you buy in the United States They come from leghorn chickens, as in foghorn leghorn. But he was a rooster. But the hens of his breed lay white eggs. They're not leached.
They just come out that way.
Yeah, and most eggs in the commercial egg industry in the United States are from leghorns, so most are white. So when you see, like, a fancy brown egg, it's the same egg. Well, that's if it's, you know, not, you know, the pasture-raised and the stuff that were already expensive.
That's the one distinction, really.

Chapter 4: What determines the color of a chicken's eggs?
Yeah, we need to shout out a University of Georgia poultry scientist named, get this, Justin Fowler.
Amazing.
It is amazing. And so he provided a lot of the insight on how all of this works, and he basically said it's genetics. But you don't have to run a chicken's genome to figure out what color eggs it's going to produce. It's much easier than that. You can at least distinguish...
colored egg layers, not necessarily the color, but whether they're going to lay an egg that has some sort of tint to it versus ones that are going to lay just white eggs based on their earlobes. A couple of things about this. I didn't know that you could judge the color of a chicken's eggs by looking at its earlobes. I also didn't know that chickens had earlobes.
I knew you were going to say that because, you know what, I told Justin that. He has chickens and he said the same thing.
Yeah. I mean, I've seen them a million times. They're like they almost look like mutton chops, like meatloaf from Rocky Horror Picture Show. But they're on chickens faces instead. Those are their earlobes.
Can you imagine if his name was Greg Fowler?

Chapter 5: How can you tell what color eggs a chicken will lay?
Why?
He could.
Anyway, if you've got a white chicken, it's going to lay a white egg because they probably have white earlobes or generally lighter earlobes or lighter feathers. If they have colored feathers and colored earlobes, they're going to have colored eggs.
Yeah, but again, not necessarily like the same color as that. But it just means that they're producing more pigment than other chickens, and they like to really show off by laying some of that pigment on the eggs. And I say we take a break, and we come back, and we take that trip down the oviduct when we return.
All right.
